Microsoft has been pushing Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts on Windows 10 computers for eliminating passwords. If you would like to log into Windows 10 with a traditional password, here is how you can get the missing password sign-in option back to the login screen.

How to Fix: Windows 10 Password Sign-in Option Missing

1. Press the Win + I shortcut keys together on the keyboard to open the Settings app. Click on the Accounts category.

   

2. Choose the “Sign-in options” tab. On the right side, turn off the “Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts” option so that Windows 10 will not restrict Microsoft accounts to use Windows Hello sign-in only.

   

3. Log off your account or restart your computer. You’ll notice that the missing password sign-in option is back and you can now log in to your Microsoft account with a password instead of Windows Hello.

   

If you couldn’t log in with any sign-in options, you can use a bootable PCUnlocker CD to reset your forgotten Windows 10 password or create a new admin account. Once logged in, you can set up different sign-in options from scratch.
