Windows 10: Cannot login into anything that uses a microsoft account on Windows 10

Hey, i've been having a really big issue (to me)


I can not login into anything like xbox app, windows store or logging into shared experience in the windows settings etc.

i can login into the website and android app with zero issues. But everytime i try to on pc it just gives me the same error everytime


This has been happening for a while, i've factory reset my pc already which is annoying as my wifi isn't great.

you don't have to use a Microsoft account....
I know I'm not.

 

Windows 10 multiple system login crap! [Solved!] Thanks to Kursah!

Windows 10 Sign in: Password, PIN, Picture Password

Using login credentials is best practice, and is going to be more and more among the norms. You can bypass needing a password if you're NOT using a Microsoft account. But if you are, that's an online linked account...wouldn't make any sense to be able to automatically login to a sync'd account without credentials would it?

If you're using local accounts or non-domain accounts, you don't need to have a password to login. See link above, you'll be able to make the changes you need by following that, in a few minutes your frustrations will be gone. *Toast :toast:

  Next.
