Windows 10: Microsoft account with multiple login options

I'm cleaning up my password manager and find 7 log in options for live.com. I only have one profile and one account and they all log into the same account despite having different passwords and log in id's. I would like to simplify this but before I just delete 6 log ins, can anyone help me understand why they all exist. They are variations of using my mobile phone number and different email addresses with different passwords, but they all open the same Microsoft account page which is good.

MICROSOFT ACCOUNT LOGIN

Hi Arbaaz,



Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

In order to help you better, could you please confirm a couple of things:

• Are you able to login with Microsoft account in web?
• What happens exactly when you try to login using Microsoft account?

I suggest you to login to Microsoft account through online login.live.com, if you are able to login to Microsoft account on web then you can reset the password and then try to login and check if the issue persists.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
