    Unsuccessful sign-in from another country


    Hello.


    I recently decided to check my sign-in history, and I was disturbed to find a few days ago someone had tried to sign-in from another country. It was an unsuccessful attempt though, but I do wonder if my account is still safe.

    Should I change my password, even though it's been days now since the attempt and nothing has happened to my account/device?

    :)

    My Identity has been stolen, please help

    If they were unsuccessful that's OK. Its when they're successful that you have to immediately change your password. Two Step Verification is also a good thing to have whether the sign in attempt was successful or not *Smile

    fail to sign in Microsoft account to connect windows 10 instead of local account

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I suggest you to refer to follow the steps below and check if that helps:

    Step 1: Try Disconnecting 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.

    Step 2

    Try to sign-in on another device (phone or PC) via the account.microsoft.com page.

    If the sign-in is unsuccessful, then try to reset the password and check.

    If sign-in is successful there, don’t try resetting/changing the password, try using the On-Screen Keyboard to sign in on the PC.

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

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.
