    Verify Info - An illegal state change was requested


    I'm trying to verify my account from my Account Information but every time I type my password in I get the message "An illegal state change was requested." No idea what this is supposed to mean but I can't do much of anything on my computer when it comes to my account - not even change my profile picture.


    Every time I put in my password when it asks it just reloads the same screen and asks for my password again.


    The entire Microsoft Account experience has been EXTREMELY frustrating - not much of anything works correctly in terms of the Microsoft Account. I've tried creating a new account, changing passwords, etc. but it's a never ending circle of requested passwords with nothing getting me any closer to resolution.


    Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated

    :)

  2. Illegal State was requested

    I basically have the same question as here. I have reset the password. Added information to my Microsoft account. I receive the "Illegal State was requested" when verifying my account in "your info".

    Illegal state change request???

    I'll also point out there are a number of people asking this. This issue is preventing me from changing the email on my computer to the more current one.

  3. Illegal state change request???

    When I tried to sign in I was told, We are unable to sign you in. An illegal state change was requested? What does that mean? I did not ask for any change!

  4. Verify Info - An illegal state change was requested

    An illegal state change was requested

    I was trying to install Your Phone app and set it up, but was stuck at 60% progress. After some time trying to make it work, I ended up in Settings>My Account, and under Your Info it said "You need to update some info for your Microsoft account. When I click
    to "Update info", it prompts me to enter my password, then a small window appears just like an error message, saying "An illegal state change was requested".

    What is this ? And how can I solve this issue ??

    Any help will be appreciated, Thank you !
