Elementary Aged Device Users

I have been playing around with autopilot and have had success when deploying computers to middle and high school students.  The devices are logged on to using the student's email and password in intune.  My question is, is there a way to have a device set up for young users in which they do not have to enter any username or password?  I'm kind of thinking similar to a kiosk device, however, I want the device to be able to function as any windows 10 device in my district otherwise.  We are using Dell Latitudes running Windows 10.

    I don’t think it’s possible.

    You can get close to the objective by using PasswordLess approach, you can use it only with Auto pilot/Azure AD devices for now, hybrid will be supported soon.

    Check url below for more info:

    There is quite a security risk if you keep devices open like that without a passwords.

    You might be better of looking of password replacements strategies? Like Windows Hello?
