Quote:Microsoft introduced an option in the most recent Windows 10 Home Insider Build to sign-in to Windows with password-less accounts.

Quote:Today, we’re announcing support for setting up and signing in to Windows with a phone number account, without having to create, or deal with the hassle of a password!

Passwords are certainly one of the Achilles Heels of account security; a recent study of leaked passwordsin 2018 showed that Internet users still use pretty much the same insecure passwords that they used five years ago.

Weak passwords are not only the user's fault; companies shy away from imposing too restrictive password setting rules.

Users who sign up for a Microsoft Account need to assign a password to it. While it is theoretically possible to create a local Windows account without a password and even configure Windows for automatic login, all Windows accounts that are Microsoft Accounts require a password as well; this may change with Windows 10 version 1903 as Microsoft introduced a new option to recent Insider Builds.
