Windows 10: Windows 10 Security: Making Sure it's you - pop up 2021

just been annoyed with this for a couple of hours.

It happened after I changed my Microsoft password (online, for email reasons), but it didn't update it on the PC, apparently. I couldn't open any other option to Sing In, other than PIN. Also, couldn't find any up to date fix, so here it is.

Fix: click Start, click on your profile icon (tiny row of icons on the lower-left once the Start expands) and Sign-Out. Sing back in with your NEW password.



- if you can't use your new password, *waiting* is what worked for me and I was still able to use the old pass. That explains the security conflict and the pop-up.
