    I didn't need a password to log into the WookieTab, and I skip it on the desktop. Not any more ... WookieTab is now asking for my password and won't accept blank any more. At a guess it's my MS ID password it wants. :mad:

      Run it as a local user -- bearing in mind that winio will often "forget" that you want to run it as a local user, and fire it up with your MS ID. When I rebuilt my laptop, I didn't even give it my MS ID, so it can't fark me around like that, any more.

              I use the option to log in with a PIN. Much quicker!

                  And on certain apps commentsections people still argue that win10 is superior to win 7. I thought it was pretty clear that it's classified as malware.

                            I honestly have a way around this... Ending the Era of Weak Passwords: Never Type A Password Again (Never Memorize A Password Again)[^] That's way too much info, but take a look at the first image in the article. I build you a device that you simply connect to an available USB port. You connect via bluetooth with whatever device you wish. You send the text that you want typed into the field. The device is seen as a keyboard so it works with every field. No drivers are installed when you attached the USB device. none. Works on macOS, Linux, Windows with nothing installed because the computer it's attached to just thinks it is a keyboard. Next, you just need an Android app that stores whatever common text you want to send over bluetooth to your device. Pick one, press send in Android app and it is typed in the target field. Easy as pie! If you want one of those, I will build it and send it to you free just so you can try it. You'll never have to type a password again, if you don't want to. I use my app / device on my work computer every day to type 64 character passwords for me. :) This is way too long but I just thought it might all be a fun thing for you to try. :)

                              It's interesting - I use strong passwords and a password store so most of the time I'm fine: open the store, find the site, press "copy", and paste it in. It's just this stupid login that gives problems... It's not a bad idea you have there - I'd second the comment suggesting a Kickstarter campaign, you need to get it down to the size of a small USB flash drive: SanDisk Ultra Fit 64 GB USB Flash Drive[^] so it can be permanently inserted, I think. I'd also suggest that the Android / iOS / Windows phone or tablet uses a dedicated app (which encrypts over the Bluetooth link). Then it could really sell well, if you come up with a cool name! Passworks? iForgot? The article got my +5 anyway!

                                Thanks for checking out my article and upvoting. My app that currently works with the device (allows you to send via bluetooth which is encrypted) is available for free on Google Play : CYaPass @ Google Play[^] My "clever" name is C'Ya Pass a play on (C-Y-A** Pass) and C'Ya (later) Passwords. :~ Obviously, I'm an engineer, not a marketer. :laugh:
