New MacBook air

Is it asking for your login password, as illustrated here?

Did you configure your Mac to log in automatically? How to log in automatically to a Mac user account - Apple Support

To my knowledge it is not possible to set up a new Mac with no password. It was possible in the distant past, but I believe Apple imposed that requirement on us a while ago.

Please Clarify:

Where are you seeing this? What is the password for? If your Apple ID, then you are being prompted to authorize this with your Apple ID. Go in to System Preferences or System Settings to do so: Sign in to Apple ID on your Mac - Apple Support
