Microsoft signin on Windows not accepting my password or allowing me to change.

Sign in to desktop - cant sign in using password, Changed password, STILL CANT SIGN IN USING PASSWORD

• I attempted to sign into my Microsoft on my laptop with password. It failed.
• I tried a 2nd time , there was a clue to the password but it didn't match to what I thought the present password is

I signed in using image . This was fine.

1. I changed my account password and the next day there was a confirmation of the change
2. I tried to sign in with the password. It didn't work
3. On second try the same old clue to password came up

What is happening here ??? I cant change the password at point of password as i have no USB as requested

What password has been changed and why isn't it working to open on my laptop Microsoft account.

 

password sign in

Hi,

About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Go to Settings.
• Click on Accounts.
• Click on Sign in options.
• On the right side, you will see required sign in.
• Change it to Never.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Changing sign-in password clue

Hello, Andy. It is completely possible to change your password hint on Windows 10 without going through all the “rigmarole *chuckle” of changing the password. Just do this: Step 1- On the search bar, type “Settings” then locate and click on “Accounts”. Step 2- On the left navigation pane, locate and click on “Sign- In Options”, then click on “Password”. Step 3- Type your current password/new password and the hint that you want to provide under “Password Hint”.
