The only non-default entries are the bottom 3 lines that should disable password authentication. After I change the file I go to services and restart ssh-agent, SSH Server Broke, and SSH Server Proxy in hopes they'll see the changes in the config file. I then use putty to ssh to localhost. Putty asks for my username but then it asks for my password and successfully connects when I put it in.

how to disable password in windows 10

You note that you have the service "SSH Server Proxy" - this service is not part the "OpenSSH Server (Beta)" optional feature in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (v1709). It is part of Windows Developer mode - I wonder if this (possibly in combination with WSL) is leading to you connecting to a different OpenSSH server unintentionally, and why it appears the config is not being respected.

Try stopping or disabling the "SSH Server Proxy" service and see if the behavior changes, or alternatively, adjust the port # in your Windows\System32\OpenSSH\sshd_config to a non-standard port and test again.

I just deployed a lab Windows 10 v1709 VM to test this, and can confirm that by uncommenting the "# PasswordAuthentication yes" line (and switching the value to "no") that with only an sshd service restart, it blocks password-based logins.

I have a home pc that changed the password two week ago. Unfortunately, I forgot to save the password like I did in the past. Now, I can't login the PC and unable to get to the Windows 11 desktop. Is there any way to remove password from Windows 11 without losing data? I tried Ophcrack password recovery tool but it does not work on a Windows 11 PC.

@Symonds1905 So, I, for one, worried about the constant, although "unsuccessful" login attempts from Asia, Middle East, etc., decided, under Microsoft's advice, to get rid of my Windows password and use Microsoft's Authenticator on my phone instead. For a while it worked fine, the hundreds of malicious login attempts disappeared! Yet, starting this week, once again my Microsoft Authenticator keeps sending me login authorization requests, again from malicious players trying to access my Windows account. I have checked for viruses using a number of well known, and well rated, antivirus programs and all report neither bugs nor rootkits. I have ran a number of off-line virus checks with the same results. Is it that Windows Security is, once again, failing?

I have followed your instruction selecting windows key plus x) to bring up the tabs and selected Computer Management pop up. After spending several minutes exploring this pop up to my dismay, there is no "User" to right click on.

As usual this is horrible advice. None of this is applicable to my computer. There is no "USERS". I NEVER asked to use a password and I NEVER. EVER gave microsoft permission to FORCE me to use a password. Microsoft did this to my computer during an update. They infected my computer. I'm at my God damned house. I don't want a password for MY OWN COMPUTER that I BOUGHT. I just want to go up to my own computer in my own home and use it. I don't want to use a password. I can actually trust my family. The owner of this company has a lot to hide on his computer and needs a password, but my family isn't like that. We're decent people and we don't want to HAVE to use a password

We want the screen to blank after a period of time (via Power & sleep > Screen: When plugged in, turn off after [x] minutes) but NOT require password entry after blanking - in other words, the way Windows 7 screen blanking worked.

We've disabled the Windows 10 Lock Screen - after the screen blanks pressing a key or button goes directly to the password entry screen. But we want it to go directly back to the session as it was when the screen blanked, without requiring a password. (Again, as Windows 7 worked.)

Apparently deleting DelayLockInterval will do the same as making it never lock, however cannot confirm and will say that for security making it lock after a week/month turned off would not create further hassle, and am not too concerned about setting it to 2 billion..

Thanks for the suggestion @Limitless Technology but setting aside that sleep isn't involved here, I checked this setting but found it set to "When PC wakes from sleep" and greyed out, with a message at the top that "Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization. I found others reporting the same issue, but without reporting a useful fix.

But this gives "Group policy override settings exist for this power scheme or power setting." with no mention of what setting is controlling it. And it's not clear where this particular setting is stored, because

Right-Click anywhere on an empty spot on the desktop, go down to Personalize. On the left is "Lock Screen". At the bottom of those options is where you can change "Screen saver settings." Worth a try anyway.

While passwords are essential for protecting sensitive information and maintaining the privacy of your data, there are valid reasons why some users opt to disable this security feature. In this article, we explore the compelling reasons why individuals choose to disable passwords in Windows 10, as well as the potential benefits and drawbacks of this decision.

One of the primary reasons users opt to disable passwords in Windows 10 is the sheer convenience it offers. Passwords, especially complex ones, can be cumbersome to enter repeatedly, particularly on devices intended for personal use within secure environments. Eliminating the need for a password streamlines the login process, allowing users to access their accounts and devices swiftly and effortlessly.

Passwords can be frustrating when forgotten, mistyped, or require frequent resets. By removing the password requirement, users eliminate the risk of getting locked out of their accounts due to password-related issues. This can be particularly valuable for users who forget their passwords or find it challenging to manage them.

Disabling the password requirement can be a practical choice for users who operate within secure, private networks or on standalone devices. Local accounts on Windows 10, which are not linked to a Microsoft account, can be set up without passwords. This makes sense when there is no need for online synchronization or when the device is not shared among multiple users.

When Windows 10 devices are used in kiosks or public-use settings, such as information terminals, interactive displays, or self-service machines, disabling passwords can be an attractive option. It ensures that users can access the system without entering a password, simplifying and expediting the user experience.

While it may seem counterintuitive, some users disable passwords to implement alternative security measures. These can include biometric authentication (such as fingerprint or facial recognition) or hardware-based security tokens. These methods can provide a higher level of security while maintaining the convenience of password-free access.

I have another password manager. Every time I want to log in to a page with my other password manager, I am getting little popups wanting me to use Kaspersky password manager. I've been able to find anything in settings or preferences to disable Kaspersky.
Windows 10 Chrome browser.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Now I'm feeling a bit silly. On a closer look, it's not actually the password manager, it's the "secure keyboard input". Which makes sense, as from what I could see in my settings, the password manager has not been set up.
The pop up disappears in a few seconds, which I didn't realize before, as I enter my log in and pw very quickly.
So, I guess i just leave it, ignore it, it's a good thing ?

It never hurts to ask, we're delighted the issue has been clarified; just for your information the Quick launch keyboard icon that generates a Secure Keyboard Input is enabled popup, (that you've shown in the image) & that drives many Kaspersky subscribers nuts, that popup cannot be disabled or managed in any way.

I figured out how to disable password on venue pro 8 when in sleep mode but...after it is turned off(which is how I now leave it) i always have to enter a password. How do I disable the need to enter a password upon starting up?

The link you gave me does not help. According to that article you MUST enter some sort of password/code upon starting. I have read that You can disable it and was looking for confirmation about doing it on this site.

Agent self-protection prevents local users from tampering with the agent. When enabled, if a user tries to tamper with the agent, a message such as "Removal or modification of this application is prohibited by its security settings" is displayed.

To update or uninstall Deep Security Agent or relay, or if you are a local user trying to create a diagnostic package for support from the command line, as described in Create a diagnostic package and logs, you must temporarily disable agent self-protection.

Anti-Malware protection must be enabled to prevent users from stopping the agent, as well as from modifying agent-related files and Windows registry entries. However, it is not required to prevent uninstalling the agent.

You can enable and disable self-protection using the command line, with one limitation: you cannot specify an authentication password. You need to use Deep Security Manager for that. See Configure self-protection through Deep Security Manager for details.

dsa_control --selfprotect=0 -p , where -p is the authentication password, if one was previously specified in Deep Security Manager. For details, see Configure self-protection through Deep Security Manager.

When it comes to protecting your privacy and data safe, a password is an unavoidable topic. But last week, a friend asked me for help about how to disable password Windows 10: He was required to input the password every time he started his computer or retrieved from Sleep mode, which made him feel trouble enough.
