Windows update makes sign-in password icon invisible — Microsoft says you can still click on empty space to enter your password

Microsoft.

Microsoft has admitted that the non-security preview update KB5064081 has an issue that will make it a bit harder to log into your computer using your password. According to Microsoft Support, one of the known issues in this update is that the “Password icon might be missing or invisible in the lock screen sign-in options.” While the button might have disappeared, you can still sign in with a password by clicking on the empty space where the button should be, and the password field will appear.

Insider channel users caught this bug before it went mainstream
