Windows 10: How to use local password while signed into Microsoft account?

I've been trying to figure this out but I can't. I want to be signed into my Microsoft account but I don't want to use it's password to login. I tried the group editor thing, the "Use convenience pin" is off. The only option in settings is to change password for my Microsoft account, but where's the local password option?

:)

• Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Local account instead.
• Enter your Microsoft account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
• Enter User name credentials for your the Local account and click OK.
• Now, login to Local account.

Hope it helps.

Hi Micheal,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

• Is this the only account on the computer?
• Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

• Click on search in taskbar and type account.
• Click on Accounts.
• Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead.
• Enter your Local account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
• Enter User name credentials for your the new Microsoft account and click OK.

Hope this helps.

Regards

 

local password

Hi AJ,

In order to sign in with your local password, you need to set your computer to sign in with your local account instead of your Microsoft account. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings > Accounts > Your account.
  
• In the right pane, click the option Sign in with a local account instead.
  
• To confirm that you authorize the changes, enter the password for your Microsoft account, then hit
  Next.
  
• On the Switch to a local account page, input your local user name and password.
• Click Next to sign out from your Microsoft account and sign back in using your local account.

Let us know if you need further help.
