Preventing Windows 10 from Storing Your Passwords

Windows 10 provides convenience with features like password storage, but if you prefer not to have your passwords saved, there are ways to prevent this. Here's how you can stop Windows 10 from storing your passwords:

  1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type in 'control' and press Enter to open the Control Panel.
  3. Click on 'Credential Manager'.
  4. Under 'Web Credentials' or 'Windows Credentials', select the credential you want to remove.
  5. Click 'Remove' or 'Edit' to make changes.
  6. You can also turn off the password-saving feature by going to 'Settings' > 'Accounts' > 'Sign-in options' and toggling off 'use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart'.

By following these steps, you can ensure that Windows 10 does not store your passwords for added security and peace of mind.
