Windows 10: WHYYYYY does MS NEVER EVER EVER remember my password???

Why in thee <removed> does Microsoft NEVER EVER remember my passwords???? I've had to change my password about 349 times in it's lifetime, and even if I change it one day, and come back the next, it's not recognized. <removed> 'Scuse me, but that is incredibly FRUSTRATING!!!


And when I try to use it again, I can't because it's previous password. Well, <removed>Like YESTERDAY.

Email clients not remembering passwords

Hi all

A friends computer will not remember his gmail password. He used to use outlook, and seeing that I use thunderbird and it would be easier to troubleshoot I installed that for him. Now that was working for a few weeks, and now the same problem is occuring.

We are 100% sure the password is correct, as we can access the email account through webmail, but the local clients will not remember the correct password. Of course the 'Remember password' button is checked, but still no good.

It returns with incorrect password.

Any suggestions?

 

Can't remember administrator password in Windows 10

I am running Windows 10. I cannot remember my administrator password even with the clue I noted. I've tried suggestions listed on different forums, nothing works. I can sign in to Microsoft, but apparently this is a different account. So, how do I
reset or recover my administrator password?

 

Passwords for MS programs

In the past when I have downloaded various MS programs I have always established a different password for each one. Lately I've noticed when I open MS programs it suggests that I sign in using my MS account password.

I have different passwords for my desktop PC, Skype, Live mail and MS account.

Would it be easier for me to use my MS Account password or all these programs and cancel the existing ones? (Certainly easier to remember!)
