The login password can be removed from an account in various ways on Windows 11, and this guide shows you how. Password-protecting your account prevents unauthorized access to your computer and files from the internet or locally.

There are a number of ways to remove the account password in Windows 11 for an automatic sign-in experience if security is not a concern. This guide will teach you how to remove the login password from Windows 11 and automatically sign in.
Why You Shouldn’t Remove Your Password?
There is no other way for someone to access your files than by entering your Windows password. Computers located where everyone has physical access will probably be fine as long as you trust them. It is definitely not a good idea to do this on a laptop that you carry with you. It is too easy for them to be lost or stolen.
To protect sensitive data, some programs, such as Google Chrome, require your Windows password. Google Chrome can be used to view saved passwords or credit cards. To view them, you must enter your Windows password. Without it, anyone who gains access to your device could view your passwords and credit cards.
Signing in automatically is a much better option that does not expose you to the same risk – it’s simply not worth the risk.
