Windows 10: Security, password

Many of my accounts were hacked. I worked for a month to get all my accounts reset up, passwords and log ins changed.I have not been able to get my microsoft account fixed.I have asked questions of microsoft, I have asked for help from microsoft, i had an agent remote in, I have sent several emails to microsoft asking for helpI did this for weeks.I finally just gave up. Microsoft has not helped me. I keep getting pop ups to verify who I am for security reasons. I have tried.When I try to reset it, it wants to send an email to someone who is not me, it is not nor has ever been an email addr

Windows 10 password security

Hi James,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I’ll certainly help you with this.

• What is the exact error message you get when you enter the password?
• Did you reset the password again?

If you haven't, I suggest you to Reset your password
and check.

While entering the password, I suggest you to enter the password from the On screen keyboard. To do so, follow these steps.

• On the Lock screen, click on the Ease of access button near the Power button.
• Enable the Onscreen keyboard and enter the password.
• Before hitting enter, click on the eye logo to confirm the password and hit
  enter.

Hope this helps you. Let us know if the issue persist. We'll be glad to assist you.

Thank you.

Hi,

About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Go to Settings.
• Click on Accounts.
• Click on Sign in options.
• On the right side, you will see required sign in.
• Change it to Never.

Let us know how it goes.
