Windows 8 Store: Stop Asking For Password When Purchasing Apps

The Windows Store wants to ask for your password before ever purchase. Obviously, this provides an increased degree of security. While this feature is helpful when your computer is used by multiple users, for many other users having to re-enter the password is annoying. By following these steps, you can disable the password requirement prior to buying applications through the Windows Store.

Windows Store does not need to prompt me for my password before every single purchase. When purchasing applications in bulk, the security verification is enough to drive someone mad.
