When you create a local account during Windows setup or from the Settings app, it requires you to choose 3 security questions and answer them. If you’re not going to use security questions to reset forgotten Windows password<\/a>, you can skip them. In this tutorial we’ll show you 2 simple methods to skip 3 security questions when creating a local account in Windows 11.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Method 1: Skip Security Questions by Leaving the Password Blank<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you come to the step of adding an offline local account, just leave the password fields empty and the boxes for 3 security questions will disappear automatically, you can proceed to finish creating your local account.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After signing in to Windows 11 with your newly-created local account, just open the Settings app<\/a> and navigate to: Accounts<\/strong> -> Sign-in options<\/strong>. Under Ways to sign in, select the Password<\/strong> option and you can then see the Add<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click the Add<\/strong> button. The pop-up window will let you create a password without needing to choose security questions to answer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Method 2: Turn off Security Questions Using Group Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just open Local Group Policy Editor<\/a> and browse to: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Credential User Interface<\/code>. In the right pane, look for the policy “Prevent the use of security questions for local accounts<\/strong>” and double-click it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the pop-up dialog box, select the Enabled<\/strong> option. Click Apply<\/strong> and then OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Restart your computer to make that policy take effect immediately. The next time you try to add a new local account using the Settings app, it will no longer prompt you to select 3 security questions to answer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

The above methods should be the easiest ways to skip 3 security questions when creating local account in Windows 11. Actually, you can also skip the security questions by creating local account using Command Prompt, PowerShell, Netplwiz, lusrmgr.msc<\/a>, or set up a Microsoft account first and then switch to local user<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
