Can I set a different password for my online account, by email and on the linked account PC.

Hello

I think that it is on the windows system's huge security breach 8.

I have 3 PC and all of them use the same password (password of account).

My email is also using the same password too.

If I want to buy items in the store windows, I need to use the same password again.

Therefore, I don't want to make purchases of the Windows application because it is not secure.

It is because if your computer gets hacked or something, the hacker is able to get all your information of all accounts linked to your on-line account (e.g., facebook, e-mail) and all your live account Details payments. They can also delete your account if the computer is a reliable PC.

I hope that Microsoft is able to allow people to use different password for different purposes.

i.e.

E-mail

Windows Store purchases

Each Windows PC

Manage the Live account

I like the concept for windows 8, but I think they still have room to improve. So, I hope to contribute.
If windows 8 store is safe to use, the store will work very well in the future.

Kind regards

Simon

Hi Simon,.

Thanks for the post and comments about Microsoft Community.
 
I look you would like to know if you can use a different password for your online accounts and emails and on the computers.
 
I would suggest that you can use different password for the same account on different computers. You must use the same password to buy anything on Windows Store. Windows Store is a secure store you can go ahead and make purchases from there.

    netplwiz
    3. check the box that requires users to enter a password.

    If your hard drive is formatted with NTFS (my computer > right click on disk Local (c) > properties), then you can use NTFS permissions.

    You can - and should - set a password to access your XP user profile.  Click Start > Control Panel > user accounts (you may need to double click on user accounts).  Select your account and click on "Create a password." If you have a floppy drive, you can also create a password reset disk. Otherwise, write down your password and keep it somewhere safe.

    Are there other people who use your computer?  Each person should have their own user account.  By default, user accounts that are not "computer administrator" accounts cannot see the files in my documents to other user accounts.

    You can also restrict access to your files, even from "computer administrator" accounts (although someone who is a "computer administrator" and knows the NTFS permissions can find ways around these restrictions).  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040

  • Why can't I move your mouse over a hyperlink in an email and reveal the source of the hyperlink - I thought that the previous versions had this?

I used to be able to run my mouse on a hyperlink site Web by e-mail, and source of the hyperlink would be revealed to me so that I could make sure it was not false or misleading link, but I can not get there now. Otherwise the link normally called the browser, but it's always a good idea to first check the actual source. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

  • Password reset disk error - "year error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account.

    Hello!

    -A bit of background: the desktop PC that I use is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with active user accounts total five. I have my own account, and I can access the computer through (or through account from my brother, because I know its password).--

    I had this problem recently came where the administrator password (that I know for a long time and never changed) no longer works. So, after some research, I created a reset password on a USB disk, that I found in my house. I managed to create the disc, but when I tried to put the new password, I got the message error "an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account', which I must say is not very clear. I found a few methods of force - reset the password for the account of the admin, as using a sort of Windows Vista DVD or go to Safe Mode to find the hidden administrator account... but I have no idea what this DVD is or where to find, and in Safe Mode, there is no account user administrator to be seen. I believe that my machine is corrupted, but I don't want to buy a new. I want just to reset a password...

    Any help is appreciated. If I was not specific enough, I can specify in comments.

    Thank you!

    If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

    You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

    • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
    • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Hi SilentEngima,

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    You can try to create another administrator account and then you can keep the new account and delete the old one (be sure to copy the necessary files in system folders is first!), or you can use the new account to set the password for the old account (e.g. from the control panel-> user accounts).

    Hmm, this isn't a bug or something but just a dcumented and behavior quite right. You connect using operating system authentication. You must have an oradba group or dba including your username o/s (Fortunately we bearing the name of Oracle) would be a part of. Let the user be on that group and try again, it won't work. You won't be able to connect.

    Oh, a separation of thought here.  I hope you better treat that you have treated others.  I don't appreciate someone implying that I am "breaking into any computer.  Microsoft makes it easy for me..., you just made me angry.

    First of all, please cite what anyone in my message that was humiliating or derogatory.  I'll gladly apologize for it.  I am sure that you will find nothing, however.

    By reflect, if you use a method to access a PC that bypasses the password, you're violating in this computer, if it's yours.  It is a fact, but it is not an insult.  Not where I "talked down" for you.
