    Incorrect password leaves me waiting for long periods of time


    On occasion, I'll accidentally type in my password or pin incorrectly.

    Sometimes when this happens I'm left watching a wheel spin over and over again before it tells me that I've typed my password incorrectly.

    Why does this take so long to tell me my password is incorrect?


    Other times I'll type my password in incorrectly and it will tell me right away that it's wrong and then I can just put my correct password in.


    Can this be fixed?

    :)

    Password issue

    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???

    The Password is Incorrect

    I have tried login in to my computer on Windows 10 but it shows password is incorrect. I have followed the steps indicated but it is still showing that the password is incorrect. Please advise.

    Incorrect password leaves me waiting for long periods of time

    Attention Required: Windows Live 2 password is incorrect

    Hi PIUPZ,



    Thanks for Posting to the Microsoft Answers forums! In addition to the steps Jay provided, one other suggestion I want to call out before resetting your phone is to check if Two Step Verification has been enabled on your Microsoft account.

    Under the section Two-step verification, if you see that you are given the option to Set up two-step verification, please enable it the disable it (or leave it enabled if you prefer). If you see a link Turn off two-step verification, you will need to
    create an app password to enter in on your phone:

    • Click on Create a new app password under App passwords
    • Enter your app password in the password field
    After reviewing these settings, go back to the phone and manually sync your account (and update your password if necessary). You can sync the account by tapping
    Settings > Email + Accounts then tap and hold your account for the
    Sync option.



    I hope this helps, please let us know if you have any further questions!



    Regards,

    Greg
