    Invalid username/password when logging into Windows 10 but not when using "Other user"


    Hi all,I have a user that is experiencing this issue where they put in their correct credentials on the login screen that already has their user profile saved as the default login but they get "Invalid username/error." However, when they try to login under "Other user" and manually input their username and password, it successfully logs them in every time. It's not creating a new user profile as it opens the existing session they left off on before their computer auto-locked.Other info:We're on MS365 E5, this computer is Azure only joined, using an XPS 13Any help is greatly appreciated. Happy

    :)

  3. Username or Password not registering on certain site

    Windows 10. When I log onto a certain school email account, from any browser, and put in my username and password, it says 'invalid'. Yet on a smartphone it works as usual! The email site says nothing changed with them, and all other email usernames
    and passwords work ok on all other sites. It's as if the site isn't registering my info, but only from my computer, and again, from any browser. Any suggestions?

    Invalid username/password when logging into Windows 10 but not when using "Other user"

    Set to skip username/password but log-in screen says password is wrong

    I used to be able to skip the log-in process on my Windows 10 machine but recently it started saying that my password is incorrect and refusing to skip the log-in. I then have to enter my PIN or password. I have confirmed that "users must enter a username and password to use this computer" is unchecked.
