  1. Why am I having to change my password everytime I sign in to my email from a different device?


    I have been signed in on my computer and my phone for years and I sign in at the library every now and then to print things out. The last two times I logged in at the library it said I tried the wrong password too many times and made me change it. I only tried once. Then I logged in on my laptop and it made me change it again. Now it is asking me to change it to log in on my phone. I have windows 10 on my laptop and an android phone.

    :)

    Changing sign-in password clue

    Hello, Andy. It is completely possible to change your password hint on Windows 10 without going through all the “rigmarole *chuckle” of changing the password. Just do this: Step 1- On the search bar, type “Settings” then locate and click on “Accounts”. Step 2- On the left navigation pane, locate and click on “Sign- In Options”, then click on “Password”. Step 3- Type your current password/new password and the hint that you want to provide under “Password Hint”.

    Changing sign-in password clue

    Thanks James. The system allowed me to change my security questions without changing my password, but not to change my password hint without changing my password, but it did easily allow me to change my password to the same password and then select a new hint. The reason I was reticent about changing my password is that the sign-in screen gives me this option after having mis-typed my password, but when I click on it I get the message "This feature requires removable media such as a USB flash drive. Please connect a USB flash drive and then try again."

    Why am I having to change my password everytime I sign in to my email from a different device?

    How Do I Change my Log On / Sign In Password?

    I am able to change the password on my administrator email account. I am able to change the passwords on my user email accounts. I am not able to change the password for logging on or signing in to Windows 10 Pro when I boot my computer in the morning. (Please don't tell me my email password is the same as my log on / sign in password) Suggestions? Advice?

  4. Why am I FORCED to change my password so often???

    in Windows 10 Software and Apps
    Why am I FORCED to change my password so often???: Almost every time I go to log into my account I'm forced to reset the password. There's not even an option to decline. I'd be ok with it if I was forced to change it before I logged in, but you're only asking me to AFTER I've gained access to the account which makes no sense....
