On my laptop with Windows 10 is:
Settings> Accounts> Login Options does not have the "Password" option…
On my PC, however, it does. What could that be?
I also want to protect my laptop with a password, not a PIN.
Why could that be that the option "Password" is not listed?
!SOLVED!
The error was because I went to Settings> Accounts> Login options
activated the check mark under "Require Windows Hello login for Microsoft accounts".
If this setting is deactivated, a password can now be created.
