How can I bypass entering my password everytime I go online. I just downloaded Windows 8.1 and it requesting this each time. I never had to do it with Windows 8. I have checked in the settings and could not find anything about this.
Believe me when I say that I am DUMB when it comes to these things. Any help would be appreciated!

What do you mean you need a password to go online? What browser are you using? I have a Windows 8.1 computer, use Firefox and don't need a password.

I understand your question but...can't help you! LOL I also didn't want to 'sign on' just to get to the internet so my computer guru guy made the necessary setting. I use windows and Internet Explorer and love not having to give a password. Ask some your smart friends for help and I'm sure it's not difficult once you know how. (it might be where 'security' is listed on COMPUTER icon)
Good Luck.............

I have windows 8. Whenever my computer restarts, I have to enter a password. I only have to do this when it restarts though. Not everytime I get online. I too would like to not have a password. This is a home computer and I don't have any secrets.

Are you talking about logging into Windows? Or logging into your ISP for internet access? Or - ?

I am talking about logging into windows. I'm not sure what OP is having problems with.
I have never had to log into windows before and I don't like it. If you know how to get rid of the password, I'd appreciate it.

You don't need a password unless someone breaks into your house and steals your computer. Or your kid's friend uses it while you are out. Stuff happens. Its a very minor inconvenience to give me the perhaps false illusion that I have some protection.

I misunderstood the problem. I'm with you, I have all of my devices with passwords. You can't be too careful.

I really never thought of that. I guess I'll leave it alone. Thanks.

Sorry, I'm back. Had to run out and buy eggs because DH left the ones I bought over the weekend in the trunk...whole other problem
I know this is not a technical description of what I am asking. When I get on my computer after it has not been used for awhile (not totally turned off) but the screen is black. I push the on button at the top of the laptop and the Microsoft screen comes up asking for my password. It did not do this with Window 8. Is there a way to bypass this?
