Windows 10: Deleting Microsoft Password

I just came across this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2021/09/18/delete-your-windows-10-password-now-microsoft-suddenly-issues-security-advisory-for-millions/And it really has me confused. I use a pin to sign into my Windows 10. Does this mean that I have to disable my pin? Or is this in regards to something else entirly.

Edge refusing to delete passwords

Hello all,

I've started using a password manager and I am trying to tell Edge that I want all the stored passwords deleted - they are now handled by the password manager.

I followed the last step of your tutorial here: How to Delete Saved Passwords for Sites in Microsoft Edge Chromium

However, when I select Passwords (I have 700+) and I confirm, Edge takes me back to the previous screen but passwords are not being deleted. I can try as much as I want, passwords are always displayed - and suggested, despite the "offer to save password" is disabled.

Any help please?

Thanks!

quick update

I did not realise that I can navigate to the "Passwords" screen and select them all. Then delete them all. So, problem solved.

Still, the option to remove all the passwords in "clear browsing data" does not work

Thanks!

 

Issues while resetting Microsoft account password

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while resetting the password for your Microsoft account.



As you have that after entering the code it asks you to enter the current password, I would suggest you to try the following steps and see if that helps.

1. Try resetting the password using in-private browsing. If you are using Edge or Internet Explorer press,
   Ctrl + Shift + P to open Private tab. If you are using Chrome, press
   Ctrl + Shift + N.
   
2. Try clearing Cookies and Cache of the browser. Refer the article
   
   Delete and manage cookies. To clear Cookies in Edge follow the steps mentioned below.
   

• Open Microsoft Edge and go to
  Settings and more > Settings > Privacy & security.
  
• Under Clear browsing data, select
  Choose what to clear.
  
• Select the Cookies and saved website data check box and then select
  Clear.
  

If the issue persists, please get back to us with the details of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.

Is there a trojan csrss.exe? If so how do I eliminate it.

She has changed the Google password.

Do we change her Microsoft password using her pc using the following steps?

• Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and then click Change a password.
• Type your old password followed by a new password as indicated, and then type the new password again to confirm it.
• Press Enter.
