(Laughing at you as I'm writing this) The password is just a means to the end of desiring more security, and can be added if the user wants to add it. In other words, a requirement added because of something the user wants to do.Tony CooperSandman
Do laptops require a password to entered to access the system?
No, they do not.Tony CooperSandman
Yes, if the requirement has been added because the owner wants the requirement to be present.
Incorrect. The user wants added security, not just add a password prompt for the sake of a password prompt. One of the options the user has is to enable password logins.
Some laptops have had fingerprint readers in the past, some have had voice-enabled logins etc etc. "Password" is just one option (sometimes the only option) to enable added security. The user doesn't get a laptop with the desire to enable a password prompt. Nor does he sit down at it with the desire to type in his password.The user gets a laptop that allows him to add a requirement. Password, fingerprint, sneeze in tune to ABBA's "Dancing Queen", or whatever the laptop allows the user to add as requirement to access the system.
