The auto-login feature on Windows 11 enables users to access a computer without the need to input any login credentials, passwords, or pins. It saves users time and allows them to access Windows quickly.
In this piece, we’ll show you a few different ways to do that:
How do I enable auto login in Windows 11?
1. Use the system’s Settings
If you couldn’t follow these steps because there wasno checkbox in netplwiz, we have a special guide that addresses that.
2. Use a dedicated tool
3. Use Windows Registry
Of course, if you change your mind and want Windows 11 to ask for the password again, repeat the first two steps and delete theAutoAdminLogon,DefaultUserName, andDefaultPasswordkeys.
Summary
With the auto login feature enabled, you drastically reduce the security of your PC. This means that anyone who has physical or remote access to your PC can access it without restrictions.
It’s worth mentioning that this feature is available on older versions, and we wrote aboutenabling auto login on Windows 10in our previous guides.
Do keep in mind that there might be issues with this feature, and many reported thatauto login is not working in Windows 10because theusername or password is incorrect on autologon.
