Martin Brinkmann over at ghacks.net brings us info on Windows 10 security changes:
The company started to open up only recently and reveal additional information about Windows 10. It published a lengthy blog post today on the Windows For Your Business blog that details security improvements coming to the operating system.
Aimed at business and enterprise customers, it provides insight for consumers as well.
One of the changes discussed in the blog post is how Microsoft plans to change how users identify themselves on the system. Microsoft plans to eliminate single-factor authentication systems such as user/password log ins by building improved protection right into the operating system.

I configured my wifes laptop just a couple of days ago. Below the entry-field for the live account, there is a link "Create local account" (or similar). You click it, define username and password, and thats it.
