Windows 10: Why need verification if I have to change the password anyway?

If I am supposed to sign in, why on Earth do I have to update my password to sign into someplace? I was actually finished editing in a new app by Microsoft , it asks me to sign in, then forces me to update my newly made password, then signs me in and I see my edited photo is no longer there. **** you Microsoft, I would rather buy Apple mac next time.

Password of windows 10 changed to older one

Hi Sedorikku,

If you are using a Microsoft account as your sign-in credentials, the changes that you are making on your Microsoft account information will be synced to your Windows 10 device. If you changed the password for your Microsoft account, the changes will also
be applied to your computer.

Automatically changing the password is one of the limitations of Microsoft account. Here in Microsoft, we value the data and information security of our customer. Because of this, we highly suggest that you reset your account's password. It will be best
if you'll enable the two-step verification on your account for additional account security. You can use these links as a reference:
