Upcoming Windows 11 builds cannot install without internet and Microsoft Account

It's such an absurd lie. If Microsoft's idea of security is to force its users to authenticate online for a local account, they should never be allowed in the software industry at all. They're needlessly and dramatically increasing the attack surface of one of the most security critical software running on user devices.

Microsoft's idea of security is moving people away from local accounts protected by passwords and to Microsoft accounts protected Windows Hello.

The Windows Hello PIN is protected by the TPM. This means you can't brute force it like a password could be.

To brute force a password, attacker needs full access to the system, guessing the password won't give them more access.
