If you don't like the extra step to log into your user account, you are able to remove the user account password in Windows. Listed here are the steps.

Windows encourages users to password protect user accounts. In fact, when you first produce a user account in Windows, you need to go through the password creation wizard. After that, you are even prompted to answer security inquiries to help you recover the consumer account if you forgot the password.

Generally, password protection is a really good thing. This is especially true for on-the-go laptop users or users who share the computer with other people. That being said, if you are the only real user from the system and confident that no-one can access it, using a password-protected user account is certainly not but one more unnecessary step to log into Windows. Taking out the user password can also be helpful for media PCs which are generally linked to TVs and accessed by all the members inherited.

Regardless of reason, if you do not want to use user account password protection, you are able to remove it completely. Follow the below steps to get rid of the consumer account password in Windows.

Note: If you work with Microsoft account to log into Windows 10, follow the first method. If you work with a nearby account then stick to the second method.

Remove User Password for Microsoft Account

If you are using an online account i.e, a Microsoft account to register for your Windows 10 machine, you cannot remove the user account password. This is because you are using your Microsoft password to log in.

However, you will get the next best thing. That is, you are able to bypass the Windows login screen altogether. When you configure the password bypass settings, Windows will automatically log you in.

Fortunately, you can also use this method with local user accounts. As you can tell, this process gives you the best of all possible worlds. i.e, you don't have to remove the password try not to need to enter it either.
