As cited earlier, the password-less login option is currently available for Windows 10 Home Edition. Previously, this feature was only available to enterprise-level Windows users, but now all users can use this tool for free. It is said that it can also be used in the future Windows 11 Home Edition.

- Now, click on “Security” and select the “Additional Security” tab.
- You will see the “Passwordless” option under the “Additional Security” tab. Click the “Turn on” setting present next to it.
- Finally, finish the steps on the screen to enable passwordless login for your Windows laptop or PC.
In addition to this, you can follow the steps on the screen to use the “Forgot Password” option when logging in to your PC or laptop. However, if you do not remember the password, the above steps will require you to perform these steps. Please note that the above steps will only allow you to access your laptop or PC without a password. If you set any additional passwords or security layers for the application, then you will need the corresponding password lock to use these services.
Nonetheless, even if we do not remember the password, the password-less login option allows us to access our devices, thus making our lives easier.
