I too have a "passwordless" administrative account created when I setup my Asus Oled VivoBook for the first time in July 2023, it never asked me for a pin or Hello and I never used ,netplwiz I do occasionally sign-in to my Microsoft Account when browsing or check for updates. Since I started, I am getting Audit failures 2425 "Unknown user name or bad password" lsass.exe (interactive logon). Question has this got anything to do with the fact that I don't have Hello enabled in Windows11 23H2? Is there a way to hide Audit Failures in Event Viewer or fix the error?
Update 24 April, 2024. Windows Hello was indeed disabled so I enabled it and use fingerprint to login, but the audit failure 2425 is still there.
Update 21 September, getting no more these Audit Failures in Event Viewer, either BIOS or Windows upgrade fixed it.:-)
