I thought I was the only one to use the sticky notes method.

A workmate of mine had a pad of sticky notes printed with "when you were out, the sh-t hit the fan", they always amused the boss.

Just being curious. If you set up Fido would you still be able to log in with a password as a backup just in case?

Hmm, what do you do with the iris recognition after cataract surgery. I am a real life example, LOL.

Wow sticky notes must not have to many service or unknown visitors coming by :/

I thought windows 8 allowed you to sign in without typing in a password isn't that identical?

Yes, Win10 does allow you to do the exact same thing that you can do in Win8/Win8.1.

If your talking about this, Log On User Account Automatically at Windows 8 Startup that lets you or anybody else with physical access to the PC, to log on without entering a password. No authentication at all. That's not what the article is talking about.

Yes, sorry, should have quoted his post only. I haven't finished my morning coffee yet. My bad.

EDIT: Went back and fixed it.
