Auto-Sign in on Kinect?

Hey world.

I was wondering if there was an option to enable auto-sign in on the Xbox One. Seeing as how I am the only one who uses it in my household, I see no reason to sit and wait nine minutes for the Kinect to realize I am sitting in front of it (I have done the
"kinect doesn't recognize me" thing or whatever it is a thousand times). So yeah, that is pretty much it. Just looking for an option so that I can jump right in and do not have to manually sign-in or dance in front of Kinect for it to recognize me.

Yeah, I know. First-world problems.

Thanks.

Edit: I skimmed through some of the threads that may or may not be related to my post. But they were all either six months old or they weren't directly asking/answering the question at hand. If this question has been answered somewhere else...sorry, and
point me in the right direction, please.

Hey mate, try:

-

Turn the auto sign-in feature on or off

-

To turn the auto sign-in feature on or off, follow these steps:

1.Sign in to Xbox LIVE.

2.Select Settings, and then select Profile.

3.Select Sign-in Preferences.

4.Select Auto Sign-in, and then make the changes that you want.

auto sign into gold profile

There should be a setting to auto-sign-in.

To turn the auto sign-in feature on or off, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to Xbox LIVE.
2. Press the Guide button.
3. Move to the Settings blade, and then select Profile.
   
4. Select Auto Sign-in, and then make any changes that you want.
   

The auto sign-in setting is saved on your Xbox 360 Console but not in the profile on the Xbox LIVE servers. If you turn on the auto sign-in feature on your console, the setting is saved on your console, but you are not signed in automatically if you
use your profile on a different console.

Only one profile can have the auto sign-in feature turned on in one Xbox 360 console. If you have multiple profiles on one console, the auto sign-in feature for the first profile is automatically turned off when you turn on the auto sign-in feature for
a second profile.

 

No worries, man, sometimes it's hard to tell if a thread applies to our question or not! To answer your question, the Xbox One does not have an auto sign-in option outside Kinect's biometric option. The fastest alternative sign in is just going to the
top of the screen where the profiles are shown, and then hitting "choose this person."

Hope this helps!

PS, with the new unbundled Kinect $399 SKU, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of MS introducing a Kinect-free auto-sign-in at some point, but not as of yet.
