    Passwords including One Drive login and email passwords not saved after upgrading to W10 2004


    I first upgraded from 1909 several months ago but rolled back to 1909 as all of my passwords were lost. A few days ago I tried again, hoping it was fixed. It wasn't and all I've found are fixes that don't work. Every time I switch off or reboot I lose my MS password use local account for Windows, lose the passwords for my stand-alone email and lose web passwords for Edge, Chrome and even the old IE.

    Is there any fix for this? If not I either have to recover 1909 or move to a mon-MS OS.

    With the number of passwords one needs today, spending a few hours resetting them plus verifying every day makes the computer almost unusable.

    I do not want to use just a MS login and can see no way of changing to one as all my accounts are local.


    It seems that this is beta software at least and should be tested with local accounts before release to the public but there isn't any mention of it in the release notes.


    Can I get my passwords back? Is there a fix or patch? This is driving me crazy and I'm wasting too much time on password entry.


    I've listed this as an upgrade problem although I've successfully upgraded to 2004 twice, with the same problem.


    Also the 'remember password' boxes are ticked for my email accounts.

    :)

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    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid.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

    Email clients not remembering passwords

    Hi all

    A friends computer will not remember his gmail password. He used to use outlook, and seeing that I use thunderbird and it would be easier to troubleshoot I installed that for him. Now that was working for a few weeks, and now the same problem is occuring.

    We are 100% sure the password is correct, as we can access the email account through webmail, but the local clients will not remember the correct password. Of course the 'Remember password' button is checked, but still no good.

    It returns with incorrect password.

    Any suggestions?

    Help with password removel of WD3200BPVT

    This kinda drive locking is when someone sets the password in BIOS and uses it as a 2 factor like authentication in addition to a windows login and password.

    My mom prefers to use a BIOS password instead of a windows password for one laptop and the other has both a BIOS password and a login/pass for windows 7.
