I simply want to change my password on my Microsoft account (including Hotmail)

I simply want to change my password on my Microsoft account (including Hotmail). When I attempt to change the password it comes to a page where I must verify my account. I selected by email and no verification code has been sent to my email.

Hotmail accounts posted online

Thousands of Hotmail passwords have been hacked and posted online, according to reports.

See this arcticle for more details:

I suggest that you change your password if you use any "Live" accounts.

 

Hotmail accounts posted online

I only respond to TPU msgs in my hotmail account so that wasn't the case. I honestly had to change the password before I could log into my account.

NEVERMIND: For some odd reason the field to change password every 72 days was checked.

 

Changed Microsoft Account Password Does not Change PC Login Password


I have three Win 10 PC's (desktop, laptop, Surface) that all have the admin login account set up through a common Microsoft Hotmail account. I changed to a new password on my Hotmail account, but the old Hotmail password is still used for logins to my three PC's. How do I change the PC passwords?

I tried doing it through Settings/Accounts/Manage My Microsoft Account/ on my desktop but that forced me to change my Hotmail password again. Now my desktop and Hotmail password are synced, but the laptop and Surface still use the old Hotmail password.
