    Same here. My "Use windows hello" thing is GREYED OUT, but I *STILL* have to put in my Winblows password.

    Fu_k you, Microsoft. Fu_k you in both eyesockets and one ear hole.

    Hi there! My name is, Zadee. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. Sorry to hear about your experience. I'll try my best to help you today.

    I was able to test this in a VM. You will need to have a local account for this that does not have a password. As long as you have a user profile that has a password, Windows will ask you for it.

    If you are trying to view your passwords in chrome, and you have a lot of them. I would suggest exporting these passwords to a CSV, that way you'd be able to view them all at once. You can do this by going to Chrome Settings (in 3 dots) > Autofill > Password manager > click 3 dots (right beside "Add") > Export.

    Kind Regards,

    I couldn't find it where people where saying it was... you need to click SETTINGS, then you will see the option to turn off.
