Not everyone likes to enter their password every time they need to log into their computer. Windows 10 allows you to remove passwords without hassle. The method is as follows:
Why shouldn’t you do this?
There are a few caveats to keep in mind before considering using the techniques described in this article.
- You need to use a local account for the password removal trick to work. If you’re using a Microsoft account, you can’t remove the password. If you are using a Microsoft account and wish to continue doing so, you will need to convert your account back to a local account.
- Removing passwords from your computer can pose a security risk. Anyone can reach it by walking. However, physical access is required to do this. Having no passwords on local accounts doesn’t make them vulnerable to remote hacking.
- By not having an administrator account password, in theory, malicious applications running on your PC can gain elevated access to Windows.
- If you only have one account on your Windows PC, it’s best to set Windows to log in automatically instead of removing the password, but that’s still a problem. I’ll show you how to do this later in this article, along with the specific security risks that come with it.

How to automatically log into Windows 10
Automatic logon is preferable if there is only one user on the computer.
Note that this method also presents security risks. First, the same is true as before. Anyone can log into your computer and log in on their own. Also, if you enable it, Windows will store your account password on your computer where anyone can access it as an administrator. Again, if your computer is in a safe location (like your home) that only people you trust can access, this isn’t a big deal, but it’s not recommended for laptops you carry with you. We do not recommend using a Microsoft account in place of a local account. We have an entire article detailing the risks of setting up automatic login that you should read before enabling automatic login.
