Windows 10: Click here to enter your most recent credential. Microsoft needs you

Click here to enter your most recent credential. Microsoft needs you to sign in agains
What am I supposed to do when I get this message?

:)

 

Click here to enter your most recent credential pops up on every re-boot.

Google Translate on a smartphone is a useful tool to fix an operating system set to a language you don't understand.

The app can do an instant translation of what the camera is showing. I used that myself on my cheapskate Chinese Wifi repeater without an English language option.

On a side-note. I got that "click here to sign in" pop up today. Reading through the comments here and the solution attempts, I think I'll just try and wait it out a few days or so, as it looks like it could be some server-side temporary bug.

Cheers,

Hans

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

Sorry to know that you are getting a pop up asking you to enter your most recent Microsoft account credential. Let me try and assist you with the issue you are experiencing.

I would suggest you to switch your Microsoft account to a Local account first and then switch back to Microsoft account. Please refer to the following steps:

1. In the Start search, type 'Settings and press Enter.

2. Choose 'Accounts'.

3. Under 'Your account', click 'Disconnect' option available under your Microsoft account name.

4. Follow the onscreen instruction to create a local account.

Now, on the newly converted Local account, follow these steps:

1. In the Start search, type 'Settings and press Enter.

2. Choose 'Accounts'.

3. Under 'Your account' click 'Connect to a Microsoft account'.

4. Enter the Microsoft account ID and Password and click Next.

Follow onscreen instruction.

Let us know if it helps. If you have further queries, we will be happy to help.

 

Hello DJ, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

The tutorial below should be able to help with this.

Thank you - that fix seems to have worked now - though when I first tried it, it didn't immediately re-create the credential. I needed to click on some app that required it and was then asked to re-enter password. But it is back now and hopefully the message will no longer appear. Maybe it was because I have an automatic sign in to the computer.

 

You're most welcome. *Smile

Automatic sign-in shouldn't affect this. Instead, this usually happens if you change your Microsoft account credentials (ex: password or primary alias).
