Windows 10: Unsuccessful Sign-In Question

Hello,Wondering if anyone might know what could cause an unsuccessful sign-in via Browser/app Internet Explorer. It's from my IP and the Session activity states "Incorrect password entered". This happened twice last month and I haven't seen that happen in the past. To my knowledge, such sign-in activity only pertains to my outlook.com online account and not the Hello PIN / my PC itself.I did peruse several related posts here but there wasn't a conclusive answer given. To sum up, it was advised to check for malware, and, barring any such issue, it was most likely a Microsoft program accessin

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

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.

Sadly, there's no alerts for unsuccessful sign-ins so you'll have to keep updated with recent activities either in your phone app or desktop.
