  1. New update removed all passwords


    I have Windows 10 and Office 365, I just updated my PC and restarted it. Everything seemed fine for a few days. Today Outlook would not work, it asked for me to enter all of my passwords again, I have many in use and most have 2 step authentication so that took forever, about 45 mins. It then was all messed up, freezing and not downloading emails. I decided to restart again, when I did I was asked to use my password to sign in, not windows hello pin. Done. I got the set up your new PC again like it was brand new, I skipped that. Then I was asked to set all of my passwords for all of my accounts, in windows I have many in use and most have 2 step authentication so that took forever. Then I open Outlook and I am again asked to enter my passwords, I did and have now put 2.5 hours into setting passwords but I figured That must be done now. I went away for a bit and PC went to sleep. I woke it up again and now Outlook is asking for all of the passwords again. This is crazy, I went to see if I can remove the update but it says it was installed more than 10 days ago so the option has been removed. Not very happy here.What do I do to fix this?

  3. 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    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid.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???
