Password change
Brought here today due to an intensely annoying new trick from Microsoft.
I could not login to my own computer today and nearly ran out of re-tries, before I realised that Mr Gates had changed my local machine password to be the same as my Microsoft account, probably because yesterday I expanded my activity to be more than just OneDrive and using MS Office apps - I went to the Microsoft Store (what a distortion of user-friendly site design and use !) and purchased an App.
So, what can I do ? I want my MS account at the store to have one PW and my local to have a PW which is something else entirely. Can someone tell me how to do this?
Until yesterday's opening of an account at the store I was able to have an entirely different password for signing in to Live account and to Outlook online.
While I am here, can anyone tell me the correct way to do a search on the MS Store ? I read about using Win+C, but that is not reliable and does not work if there is something on your computer which is same or similar named. One of the things I was referring to in the comment about the awfulness of the Store.
