    using local password with microsoft account


    So I have a complex password for my online Microsoft account, I never type it in, its used with a secure clipboard from a password manager.

    If I use a Microsoft account with windows 10 it also uses the password which is a pain to type in, is there no way to use a local password for windows auth whilst having the account tied to a Microsoft account?

    :)

    Yes. Change the local account password to match Microsoft password.

    If you have more than one local account, all local accounts can have same password.

  3. Can't change login password when starting Microsoft 10

    There are two types of account in Windows 10 , one is local account and the other one is Microsoft account. If you use Microsoft Account (it is an email) and change your password , passwords for all accounts will be change. In this case, what you should
    do is switch to Local Account (which is independent from Microsoft Account) and change your password. In this case, you won't change password for Microsoft account but you only change password for local account.

    Open start and go to Settings and Accounts , Your Account and there you could Switch to Local account and once you did that, go to Sign in options and change password there.
