    I can't sign in to an online email account because I am being forced to provide a passkey...


    I am trying to login to Gmail but have been stopped by a Windows Security prompt that is demanding I provide a 'passkey' to login to that online account, but I do not have a passkey for that account, I never set up a passkey for that account.How do I get Windows to get out of my way, and just let my provide my password as I always have? At no point in time did I opt in to using 'passkeys'.Why is this being pushed when it's this utterly broken??

    :)

  3. Passkeys for Google Accounts are now available

    I’m testing the new Passkey feature on my Google account and so far so good. However, on the sign in with Passkey prompt, if I select the Try Another Way option, I can still sign in using my password. So would that actually defeat the purpose of using Passkeys? See my image here.

    I can't sign in to an online email account because I am being forced to provide a passkey...

    Cannot sign in microsoft account.

    My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
    I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
    and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6. I can't sign in to an online email account because I am being forced to provide a passkey... :(

    Any suggestion?
