However, there may be times when it's completely safe to do so. If you have a desktop that you use at home and no one else has access, or if you have a laptop that you never take outside your home, you can remove the password and save yourself a step when starting up your computer. It's not necessarily easy, for obvious reasons, but the following will help you remove the password - if you're absolutely sure you want to. Josh Norem, technology writer and contributor to PCWorld, shares the steps to remove your Windows 10 login password.

How to remove your login password from Windows 10

Eliminating your login password from your PC is a bad idea—unless you own a computer that no one but you will ever touch. In that case, why not remove your password and eliminate that initial step? In the past, we’ve discussed getting rid of the Windows 10 password by tinkering with Windows’ power settings. There’s a better way to remove the password entirely, however, so that you’ll never need to enter it. We’ve tested this with Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Home, and it’s worked using the Windows 10 October 2018 Update and the Windows 10 May 2019 Update. (There’s no reason to believe it won’t work on subsequent updates, either.) Read the entire article, How to Remove Your Login Password from Windows 10, on PCWorld.
