Windows 10: Can't login after password change - Keeps looping back to authenticator code after asking...

Can't login after password change - Keeps looping back to authenticator code after asking whether I want to remain signed in and the code doesn't work.

Changed my Microsoft account password but windows login keeps accepting old password

Hi,

I have a Microsoft account (to be specific, it's a Passport account. I created it with a gmail account) and I recently changed my password and activated two-step verification with Microsoft Authenticator app.

The new password works perfectly in any web page, but doesn´t work when I try to login in my notebook. Windows login keeps accepting old password, and doesn´t accept the new one.

Am I doing something wrong or this is some kind of bug?

Thanks.

 

Why is Microsoft Authenticator Stuck in a Login Loop?

I'm having trouble signing in to my Microsoft account using Microsoft Authenticator on Windows 10. I also use Microsoft Authenticator on my Android phone.

Here's what's happening:

1. When I attempt to log in, I receive a message that says, "We'll send a sign-in request to your phone to sign in with my email address."
   
2. I click the "send notification" button on my computer.
   
3. On my phone, I'm asked to tap the number displayed on my computer screen to sign in without a password. I do this, and it confirms the number I selected on my phone is correct.
   
4. However, back on my computer, I get stuck in a loop with the message, "We'll send a sign-in request to your phone to sign in with my email address." This cycle keeps repeating, and I can't log in.
   

It's worth noting that I can sign in to my account on Windows 10 and my Outlook account without any issues. I'm specifically having this problem with Microsoft Authenticator.

In summary, Microsoft Authenticator is stuck in a continuous loop, preventing me from logging in.

I've attempted several fixes

1. Reinstalled the app.
   
2. Reset my phone.
   
3. Logged out and back into the Authenticator app on my phone.
   
4. Reset my computer.
   
5. Removed the two-step authenticator from my Microsoft account and then re-enabled it.
   

The picture underneath is what I get in a loop.

 

I can't login to Windows - experiencing a Windows Loop

Even though I have changed the password and entered the code when it was emailed to me, once i enter it, I keep getting looped back to the windows login. I tried a system restore, reboot, starting in safe mode but nothing has happened. It appears to be a backend authentication issue.
