Windows 10: using email acct to log in your windows 10 on pc?

Computer Log-on Changes

When I use Skype, I'm forced to log on to my Microsoft account (L: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***).

The next time I boot up my computer (windows 10) it has changed my administrator to the outlook acct and is password protected.

I usually sign on with a local account.....not the outlook acct.

I then have to log-on with the outlook acct and then I can go re-set the log-on to the local user acct again.

Is there a way to prevent outlook from high-jacking my log-on procedure?

 

Windows 10 installed today. I cant get my Windows live mail.

You need to set up a separate user account. The user acct you have setup now is your husband's.

Or if you want to use the same user acct, you can setup your email acct in windows 10 Mail instead of the old Live Mail. Win 10's Mail works better than Live Mail. Click on the Mail tile on the start page and setup your email acct as a second acct.

 

I set up a new Outlook.com account to use for my Windows 10 machines. I have yet to get a single e-mail in to this account, and I've been using it since last June.

 

I've been using my Outlook.com account as well. One thing I like is that you can set up a Pin code to log in to Windows 10 with rather than having to enter your full password as well. I also have two factor authentication set up on my microsoft account for that added sense of security.

Certainly better than folks who use a local login and then set it up to automatically log in so a thief can get all of their stuff just by stealing the phone, tablet, laptop.

 

Its been safe for me for over a year now ,,like already suggested ,don't use you main email acct ,create an outlook.com acct, just for use with windows 10 ,

 

Why is there a problem using your main email acct?

 

nope not at all ,[that I know of anyway ] I guess we are just suggesting the use of another acct just to be on the safe side ,
never hurts to be safe .
I actually do you my most used Microsoft acct . but for important emails I use a non Microsoft from my internet service provider ..

 

I use my ISP provided e-mail account for my Microsoft ID. My e-mail password and Microsoft ID password are two totally different passwords. Microsoft does not have or know my e-mail password. With an outlook.com login the two passwords are the same password, or so it seems. Microsoft already knows you outlook.com password so what's the big deal?

 

Frankly...I have nothin to hide...there isn't any special on my pc or emails...no secret to the universe here

Btw how do u guys set up a restore point on windows 10 ? What other safety precautions should I take?

 

not something I could help with as I do nothing ,not an issue ,if something happens I just start over
