I am logged into Windows 10 and have no password required. I am trying to turn on sync settings with another W10. So I try and log in using my Microsoft account and it doesn't accept my password which I know to be correct. I even reset password and used the new password which works on all other MS stuff like live or Onedrive.
Hi, have you removed this?

You can reset your MS account password on line only by accessing your account.
Note you can only sync settings between PCs using a MS account.

Thank you for your reply.
You can still use passwordless login with an MS account.. but like this:
Enable or Disable Passwordless Sign-in for Microsoft Accounts
And It should be possible to skip login with an MS account: see

I wasn't trying to imply any logical connection, merely adding another statement. Sorry for the confusion arising for any logicians posed by my poor style.
How? How are you getting "logged into Windows 10" without a password. Is this a local account?
I assume this is a "different" machine that does require a login with a Microsoft Account?
BTW - Windows 10 sign-in options and account protection.
Didn't really answer the question as I still don't know what you're doing so I asks this....
Are you using a Microsoft Account and do you have Passwordless Sign-in for Microsoft Account enabled?
BTW: Enable or Disable Syncing Passwords in Windows 10 Sync Your Settings
