    Windows Hello keeps bothering me


    I've a new PC with Windows 10 since mid March; it's setup with a local account to log in, not a Microsoft account, and it accepts Hello signing with this local account. So far so good. I don't want to sign with my Microsoft account as I don't need synchronization. Anyhow, I don't want to change.

    I have 3 outlook email accounts for different activities I'm involved with and I've configured them on Mail. Everything went fine for few days, but then Mail started to tell me that I didn't finish to configure 2 of my email addresses and wanted me to configure them with Hello. I don't understand why and I don't want to put those email accounts on Hello. That would give access to the computer with the email address and password and I can't allow that. The 3 email addresses are association emails that I'm sharing with other people of the association.


    I have Office 2019, and at one point of time, Excel Word and PowerPoint were, I don't know how, signed each with one of the 3 emails. I definitely didn't sign in any of it and the signing was changing, I'd guess in link with the last email I had access to.

    Then working with Office became a mess because Windows didn't allow me to sign out, asking me to finish the setting of the emails. Working with Office apps signed with an email address I didn't control, it was really a mess to come back to a document that was created with another account. I know that's the purpose of the signing, but in this context, I definitely don't need or want it.



    After multiple reboots I was finally able to sign out. Now, based on my experience with multiple accounts and Office, I don't want to try to configure Hello with different email accounts.

    I removed the 2 emails that were causing problem and put them on Thunderbird.

    Now the 3rd email account is asking for more configurations after 15 days without any problem.

    Before I remove it too, I'd like to understand:

    Is it possible to have a local account configured with Hello and to have outlook email accounts at the same time in Mail without going into the problems I'm talking here above, or is it a bug?

    If it's possible, what can I do to fix it and be sure I won't never again be bothered by finishing the configuration with Hello?

    Thanks

    :)

    windows hello

    Hello,

    Windows Hello is a more personal way to sign in to your Windows 10 devices with just a look or touch.

    You can change the Windows Hello settings by following these steps:

    • Open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Under Sign-in options, you can change and choose the way you want to sign-in.
    We'll keep an eye out for your response.
