Windows 10: Bypass Gmail on log-on

Question: How do I bypass the gmail log-on / password in trying to access my laptop computer.
Background: I have not used my “when I’m travelling” lap top for a number of weeks. I change my Gmail password regularly, and can’t remember what it was when I last logged off from the laptop in question. Until I can move past the gmail log-on, it seems that I am unable to connect to the internet to allow gmail to access my current password. Seems like another one of the hidden joys of moving to Windows 10. Feels like Checkmate – help would be appreciated.

Changing Gmail Password has not locked Windows 10 Mail Out

I changed my Gmail password. My iPad dutifully asked for the new password, but Windows 10 on my PC did not. It is still accessing my Gmail account despite the password change. This is worrying. If someone stole my PC, and bypassed the log in, they would
have access to my gmail account, and changing the gmail password would not lock them out. How do I fix this problem?

 

contact groups in windows 10 email

I have found that I can use my web login account for my email (using gmail), import contacts from outlook, then gmail has the option to set up Contact Groups. This bypasses Microsoft Windows 10 email.

 

Hi PeterC99. Welcome to the TenForums @PeterC99

This is your Microsoft account and it allowed you to use your gmail name. This has nothing to do with changing email password on the google servers. Wish they had made everyone get a MS name.

So what password were you using at Microsoft with your gmail name?

If you can't remember the beauty of Windows 10 is you can go to account.microsoft.com and reset it. Since you don't know password you will have to go through reset process which maybe using your gmail email account or your cell number.
