Improve your security with these alternative methods

If your password is bad, your system is at risk. Rather than relying on outdated security, Microsoft is leading the way with the Windows 10 May 2019 Update, which added support for completely passwordless logins.

We’ve talked before about how to use Windows without a password , but that’s not what passwordless logins are all about. Instead of using a password, Windows passwordless logins let you log in using alternative security methods. To use the feature, make sure you have Windows 10 version 1903 installed.

If you have Windows 10 version 1903 installed, you can create a passwordless user account using your mobile phone number. Unfortunately, you cannot convert an existing user account to this type of passwordless login, although there are other types of passwordless logins available for Windows 10.
