How can I log in automatically on startup without a password?

I have a new M1 iMac running MacOS Ventura 13.1 I'm the only user and the machine is kept in a secure location, so when I turn the machine on I want to start work without needing my password. Is this possible?

iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021, 2 ports)

Yes. Open System Settings > Users & Groups. Set "Automatically log in as". You can't automatically log in if FileVault is enabled or you want to use Touch ID for Apple Pay, etc.
