Windows 10: User without email

I have a new Windows 10 system. I created my account with a Microsoft ID. Now I want to create one with just a username.


I found this:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-security-winpc/create-user-account-without-email-in-windows-10/ef37a140-9e5b-43d0-9c5a-71731eae6ecd
which showed me how to create a user without an email address. I thought this solved my problem. Nope.


When I try and log in, I select other user, it wants email address & password. Well that's not what I want. I click sign-in options and it gives me a choice of email/password or username/PIN. I don't have a PIN for this user. How do I create a PIN for another user? Or is there a way I can log in with username/password?


This is not very intuitive.

Best Multi-User Email App?


Hello. I am looking for an email app that will support 2 users, each with 2 different email accounts (one gmail and one outlook account each). Ideally they would like to use a single email program for both of them but would like separate inboxes for each person.

So, ideally:

• One email program.
• Two inboxes, with each inbox collecting email from a unique gmail account and a unique outlook account.

Will be interested in any suggestions.

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

 

Forum users with Hotmail/Outlook/Exchange account

The two-step verification emails show up in my inbox but I added a rule to mark the domain name safe a long time ago (verified that "techpowerup.com" is still in the safe sender list).
