I. Turn off / on the Secure Sign-in feature on Windows 10
Secure Sign-in is an extended feature on the login screen of Windows 10, it does not prevent anyone from logging into Windows 10 if they have your Administrator account information.
Instead, Secure Sign-in will only display the account password, login PIN code when they press the correct key combination that you have preset, such as Ctrl + Alt + Del. After they have pressed the correct set of shortcut keys, they will be able to log in as usual.
Accordingly, this feature was created to prevent malicious code named thwart malware. This malware will run in the background and can pretend to be the login screen of Windows 10 for the purpose of recording your login information. It works like a keylogger!
Because most software do not have the right to use Ctrl + Alt + Del so we can combat this by using Ctrl + Alt + Del to unlock the Secure Sign-In.
Okay, right now I will share with you 3 ways to activate using this Secure Sign-in feature, you can apply in any way.
Method # 1: Use netplwiz command to enable or disable Secure Sign-In
+ Step 1: First, open the Run dialog box using the key combination Windows + R => and then enter the command netplwiz => and then press OK.

Perform:
+ Step 1: First open the Run dialog box (Windows + R) => and enter the command line regedit => and then press OK to access the Registry Editor on Windows.

Method # 3: Use the Local Security Policy Editor to enable or disable Secure Sign-In

Local Security is where you can set policies related to the login, rights and privileges of accounts, trusted domains, etc., in general, about the security settings of Windows.
To access the Local Security Policy Editor is also very simple, we can also use the Run dialog and Windows Search as well.
Perform:

+ Step 2: Both the same name and the same interface of Local Group Policy Editor, so it is not too difficult for me to be familiar with this tool.
Back to the article, click on the section Local Policies => and then click Security Options in the right navigation bar.
Looking to the right, you can scroll down a bit to see the settings immediately Do no require : CTRL + ALT + DEL is in state Not Defined (Not configured)
=> Please double-click on this setting to begin setting up the feature Secure Sign-in.
+ Step 3: In the new setup window appears => at the tab Local Security Settings => you tick the line Enabled => and then press OK => So the Secure Sign-in setup process on Windows 10 has completed.
