Are Windows login passwords needed?
Posted: 2016 Aug 21, 17:44
Looking for some expert thoughts. I know there are some here. I think.
I'm debating whether there are any real benefits to having to log in with a password on to my Windows 10 desktop. So far I can't find why I want to bother unless someone can convince me otherwise.
My computer is at home and I'm basically the only one that uses it and only have one administrator account. I run Kaspersky Internet suite, CCleaner regularly, and Malwarebytes once in awhile. I also only have it set up as local account and nothing syncs with Microsoft.
Doing any kind of Goodle/Bing/DuckDuckGo search only returns information on how to change account, password, etc. Nothing on whether it's even needed in the first place.
Are there security advantages to having password login?
