    It’s actually super useful for old people, who sometimes like to “accidentally log off” and stuff.

      Or Microsoft who randomly needs to verify someone’s identity before they can log into.tgeir computer but the user doesn’t have a smart phone. So they need to call someone trusted to have them log into their email from a different computer just to get the code so the user can log into their computer.

      But that also means they didn’t have access to any saved passwords so a notebook helps.

      I really should put Linux on her machine but then I have to show her how to do that too. It’s a lose-lose so I keep it the same.

      I miss local accounts.

        You can still use local accounts with Windows 11. It’s just a bit fiddley. If you use Rufus to make your boot usb, there’s a bunch of deshitification options you can do.
