    Microsoft Successful Sign Ins

    So I regularly check my security dashboard just to make sure eveything is ok. Lately I've noticed that when I check the dashboard on my android through the microsoft authenticator app it lists several successful sign in on a single session. For context, yes these are my sign ins as I approved them all, the locations and times of the sign ins match. My account is passwordless with MFA turned on as well so everything goes through the authenticator app on my phone.

    Before, everytime I signed in to see the recent activity section it listed every successful sign in attempt as its own session. Even if its the same device that was used to sign in successfully (which is my phone), it listed it as a seperate session with a single successful sign in. Now it looks something like this (image below). Is this normal behavior or is it something more serious?

  3. fail to sign in Microsoft account to connect windows 10 instead of local account

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I suggest you to refer to follow the steps below and check if that helps:

    Step 1: Try Disconnecting from the Internet


    • If there is a Wi-Fi icon on the sign-in screen, click it and go to Airplane mode.

    • If there is a wired connection, disconnect the wire.

    Step 2

    Try to sign-in on another device (phone or PC) via the account.microsoft.com page.

    If the sign-in is unsuccessful, then try to reset the password and check.

    If sign-in is successful there, don’t try resetting/changing the password, try using the On-Screen Keyboard to sign in on the PC.

    If that fails, make sure the PC is connected to the Internet (the connection icon should be visible in the lower right).

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    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.
