I also have one credit card and charge everything that costs over $15, pay it off when I get the bill. I never pay interest.

Well, here's an interesting predicament.
I created a new local account, switched to my MSA account, went through the eMail code security - all is well.
Went to my MSA account and looked at some settings - all is well
Went to PC Settings - > Accounts and saw a that I had to verify my account, ok I tapped the Verify - nothing, tapped it again and the wheel spun for 2 seconds - then nothing.
I do not have 2-step verification, so that's not it.
Poked around in my MSA some more, changed my alert eMail, got the code at the new alert email, set it, and removed the old alert eMail. - all is well
Tried tapping the verify again - nothing
Hmmmmmm, tried the store App - open, no spinner, closed
I'm schtuck .... Let me see if I can do anything with the original sign-in and MSA - I'll be back
Good thing it's a VM - the primary account cannot get to the store either,
there isn't a verify on the original account and I can access my MSA.
So this is an App issue, sort of. I was trying to verify the new account but it did nothing.
wsreset threw this:
I'll try to register the Store App(s) again
I was not logged in to both accounts at the same time
I logged off one account then in as the other and then into my MSA
It was about as clean a process as I could make it.
C'est la vie - it's a Tech Preview.
I'll Feed MS with what I have, me too if I can find a similar report
You're welcome Mike,
and so on ... I forget how many accounts I have
Some are on domains created for my businesses or created for clients (testing purposes). Most of these are dormant. Many ids also have aliases.
I rarely use the web clients though, a local eMail client pulls it all to me - and I never have to see any of the advertising (unless it's in the msg).
Your post piques my interest though - something I'll play with when I get the chance.
Sign in to Windows with one MSA and use a different MSA to individually sign in to Apps.
Probably not the way most people would use Windows, but interesting.
Why would I do that? Because it can be done and I'm curious.

MS is using exactly the same scam that Download sites use.
The link related to using a Local account is in tiny print.
I seem to recall that in W10 that link is on a different screen (confirmed by your earlier post):
The first time I installed W10, I couldn't see how to avoid the MS log in scam, so I crashed the PC.
I disconnected the Network and tried again, to see if that would provoke a more reasonable response (which it did).
- They don't need to know
- They can't even properly secure your info from criminals
- Why should they receive money for my info when I don't?
The test I always apply in these type of situations is to replace <Corporate Name> with <Government Agency>:
- "Sign in using your MS Live account."
- "Sign in using your Department of Homeland Security account."
As far as I'm concerned, if it is unacceptable for one sector to do something, then it is also unacceptable for the other sector to do it.
In the above example, it's unacceptable to me that I should have to inform either of those groups, when I want to use my PC.

Yep high contrast seems more indepth at this early stag and that is sad in it's self
That is a good test Bill but as I said you can do that in a local account so your test would be interesting but might be problematic let us know
Why many accounts
Well one is always primary on each service as Bill said pop3 can be used with a business domain to it which is true for one of my gmail addresses it's just works so it says
And of course one throw down for spam magnets for online purchases to forums stuff.....
Same goes for Hotmail and outlook.com except no real emailing... just have had one for ever and another as a throw down/ expendable...
Most would already be connected to a cell phone so adding a text to second verification system to an account is redundant![]()
