Windows 10: STOP MAKING ME CHANGE MY PASSWORD

I have been apart of your company FOR YEARS. But I'm done. You have LOST a customer because of your need to CONTROL people. My password MY LIFE, MY CHOICE. I have a disease that makes remembering things HARD, and having 10000000000 passwords, that are forced onto me is ****. I have a security question for a reason! I have a recovery email FOR A REASON. If I want to change my password THEN IT IS MY CHOICE. Not yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate what the internet has become, big companies like you are so damn toxic. I freaking loved you guys, I stuck with your email service forever! I never looked at anyone else. I was loyal. And look what that's got me. Nothing.

I will give you guys one final chance. TELL ME how to stop your company from FORCING ME to change my password EVER AGAIN, and I'll stay, otherwise I'm gone.

forgot then changed Microsoft account password

Hi,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Try disconnecting the cable from the Internet:

• • If there is a Wi-Fi icon on the sign-in screen, click it and go to Airplane mode.
    
  • If there is a wired connection, disconnect the wire.
  • If sign-in is successful, let us know in the comments!
  • Also, we can then change to a local account, restart, and re-connect to the MSA.
    
  • If this works, please let us know!

2. Try sign-in on another device (phone or PC) via the
https://account.microsoft.com
page.

• If the sign-in is unsuccessful, stop and handle it like any other password issue.
  
• If sign-in is successful there, don’t try resetting/changing the password, continue to the next step.

3. Try using the On-Screen Keyboard to sign in on the PC.

4. If that fails, make sure the PC is connected to the Internet (the connection icon should be visible in the lower right).

Thank you.

 

Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

1. Launch Control Panel.
2. Click "Network and Internet."
3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
4. Click "Wi-Fi...."
5. Click "Wireless Properties."
6. Click the Security tab.
7. Check "Show characters."
8. Enter the password in "Network security key."

Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?
