Fingerprint does not work on Microsoft Signin - Lenovo Yoga 520

I recently bought Lenovo Yoga 520. I logged using Microsoft Account and tried set-up fingerprint login. But the fingerprint does not work i.e it recognizes the finger by saying `Hello Welcome` but doesnot login with error message `Windows can't Signin, The
credentials does not verify`. Furthermore the PIN login also doesnot work with error `Username & password mismatch`.

But after some research on the internet, I find this
link. According to it, there is no problem when using Local Account. But why does not the fingerprint work when using Microsoft Account???
