    Your Microsoft account needs you to sign in again-recent credentials

    Yes the correct or current info is in the Settings/Accounts/Your email and accounts.
    The steps in the tutorial included signing in after deleting a listing. I couldn't see where that was relevant since its a second listing. It looks like I have to voluntarily do the 'sign in' so I can avoid doing that. I'm locked out for 30 days anyway.
    Perhaps its time to set up a stand alone user account in that laptop <grin> Too nerve wracking dealing with this MSAccount.

    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. my PC sign in account is locked :(

    Any suggestion?

    Switch laptop sign in from MS account to Local Account questions

    That sounds like a great idea. Ive had a bit of a rethink on this. I'm thinking now about sticking with a Microsoft account sign-in on my PC (obviously this is administrator account). Bearing in mind what you said about people getting locked out of their accounts/PC's I will create a Local Account in my name and make that an Administrator Account as well. Is there any harm in leaving them both as Administrator Accounts? I don't plan on using the Local User Account at all unless I ever have an emergency and get locked out of my Microsoft Account and cant log into my PC. Then I can use the Local account as a way of signing into my PC. Have I understood what you suggested correctly?..is that the reason you suggest creating a Local Account as well as the Microsoft Account that is used to log in to the PC?
