Windows 10: Different Passwords for Two Computers

I recently changed the password to my Microsoft Account, which I use to sign into my desktop computer. I have it set to sync across all devices. However, whenever I log into my laptop computer, I need to put in the old password. Yet, it shows I'm signed into my Microsoft Account exactly like when I'm on the desktop. What exact settings need to be ticked or whatever so that I use one login password on starting each computer? I've looked at both settings side by side and all seem to be the same. It's not especially urgent, but is really annoying. It reminds me of my files never syncing between the same two computers on OneDrive, which was never resolved. Maybe it's the same thing causing this problem? Laptop and desktop are both running the very last build of Win 10 Home 1903 Build 18362.356.

Can't sign in to windows with the same password by which I am able to sign in to my Microsoft account

Hi Anurag,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



This issue might occur if there is change in Microsoft account settings.



To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

• When you say that "windows using the same password", are you getting any error message when you enter the password?
• Have you checked the issue while entering with a different keyboard?
• Were you connected the computer to a internet connection while logging into the computer with Microsoft account?
• When you say that "resetting the password.", have you tried to reset the password from Microsoft website?

I suggest you to follow the steps below to enter the password through different keyboard and through On-screen keyboard. Check if it helps.

Step 1: I suggest you to try entering the password with a different password.

Step 2: I recommend you to check the internet connect of the computer and make sure that internet is available for the computer while enter the Microsoft password.

Step 3: I suggest you to follow the steps provided in the Microsoft account and check if it helps.
