Windows 10: Click Here to enter your most recent credential

I have searched everywhere for solutions on getting rid of the above message, from deleting my current account and setting up a new one, to a number of other solutions. But, with all that, I am still getting this message. I would like to continue with my Microsoft account login rather than my local one, but with this annoying and continual message, it is just another Windows 10 annoyance.

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.

I had already found this and tried it, but it still keeps coming back. I am trying it again and hopefully it will provide the solution.

 

Did this procedure once again, and this morning still getting that message. I don't think Microsoft has a handle on this problem;.

 

Usually you would get this if any type of change has been made to affect your MSA credentials. Such as: rename computer, rename user profile folder, change password, etc...
