Microsoft Passwords, one for a single account is equal to all other accounts?

I have several computers, all but one use Win 7, the other uses Win 8.1. I have multiple accounts with Microsoft, including Windows (Windows Live)?, Microsoft 365, this Forum, Expression Web, Microsoft.net (this still exist?) and others I can't remember now. When I signed up earlier today, I was told my password does not match my email address. I went through the process to change it, and has been a success. However, I type this password often enough that I know that I have made a mistake in typing. So, my question is, I have to change the passwords on other accounts or are something that MS does it automatically for all of us? Also, what possible cause is my recently changed password fail to work all of a sudden?

I can't speculate on why it stopped working. But when you change your password, it doesn't change a single account (email address).  So if you connect to these other things with a different email address, they will not be changed.

I don't have a single account: I use the same e-mail address here, Xbox, Live, MSN, Outlook.com, everywhere.  In this way, they are all connected to a single account.

  • Windows Live Mail - hundreds of duplicate for a single account messages

    I am running the latest version of Windows Live Mail on Windows 7 Ultimate (x 86).

    For the past two weeks I received hundreds of messages in double for a single account. I do not have 'backup on server messages"checked, my mail server support told me there is no problem on their side.

    How can I stop this? Live Mail uses a ridiculous amount of time CPU on it (according to the Task Manager).

  • Can I purchase a single license for multiple software? Buy one for a single application, buy another one for another, etc.

    Can I purchase a single license for multiple software? Buy one for a single application, buy another one for another, etc.

    You can purchase the license but on different emails if you need to use them on multiple computers. From an e-mail, you can install software on both computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or everyone. If you install on a third computer, you will be asked to turn off this feature on the other two computers. You can then re-enable one of the two previous computers and use Cloud Creative apps on it.

  • display of license - two computers (one for printing, one for video) - single user as trial version on the second notebook

    I've installed acrobat, indesign, photoshop, and lightroom on my first laptop and want to install first and legacy on my second notebook. However I am only offered a test version of the software. I had read that the teachers license allowed the use of two separate computers. Is it not true? I make a mistake?

    On my first macbook, photoshop, LR, acrobat,... can be installed directly (and not testversions).

    On my second macbook I've also logged into my account but am not offered the full versions. Should I install the testversion first? Can "activate" the first test version? How is that done?

    more details...

    all adobe (including education) single user licenses allow installation on an unlimited number of computers but restrict users to, at most, two competitors connections at any time.  (which isn't really much of a restriction to a single user unless you are trying to use 3 computers + in a moment.)

    on your second macbook, install the application of cc desktop from there, https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and use it to install your programs.

  • Mail: Sent to the mailbox for a single account keeps endangered - solution?

    Changed an old POP account on an IMAP account. All the server parameters are supplier; prefs are set to keep receipts and sent emails on the server forever.

    When I added the IMAP mail (after removal of the POP version) account, the Inbox has well migrated from the server. The box sent, maintains however, disappear. It was never populated from the server (I assume) because it was never added to the list of the other sent mailbox. I can make it appear by sending an e-mail from this account, but it disappears again within seconds or ost a minute or two.

    Any suggestions on fow to solve this problem, or at least fix this?

    Thank you.

    Just noticed that the Recycle Bin for this account has the same behavior which disappears.

  • When I try and send mail from one of two email addresses, he asks me a password of a google mail account, I have more, so now I can't send any mail

    I have x 6 gmail accounts set up on top of my pop mail to Thunderbird. Every time I try and send ANY email of 2 of these accounts ([email protected] & [email protected]), a window appears and says the following:

    Enter your password for [email protected] on smtp.googlemail.com

    I did have this address of electronic mail for a few years, and I've tried every password I've ever used with no luck.

    I have to finally press Cancel, the a new error box appears which says the following:

    The message send failed.
    An error occurred sending a message: could not get password for smtp.googlemail.com. The message is not sent.

    Please PLEASE help, I need these two addresses to work. Each other (x 4) address through Thunerbird works.

    Thank you for your time and your support.

    Looks like you need to do a cleaning of your SMTP server settings.

    The menu bar, select Tools-Account Settings-outgoing server (SMTP)

    No menu bar? Press the ALT key.

    Remove the old server and add the right ones for your 2 accounts problem.

  • All of a sudden don't require passwords for one of my user accounts... Why?

    All of a sudden, the user accounts on my computer is not necessary to enter a password to connect.  You can simply click the icon for a particular account and it load.  This includes administrator accounts.  I checked the user account control panel and it doesn/t display the saved passwords.  I have a fingerprint reader that works in conjunction with or instead of the password and who scans are always registered and working, but now are rendered advocated. What could have caused this?  I am on an HP dv6 - 1134ca Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium with service pack 2.  I can and will implement the new passwords for the accounts, but I'm a little disturbed that this has happened at all and do not understand what could have caused it.  Everything has worked out very well and normal until today.  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

    I never saw this happen by itself. All I can say is that you be proactive and make sure that the computer is free of viruses/malware and not compromised from outside.

    Not really, no.  It could be an accident too - someone ' one with a user name very similar to yours that's typo in their username, may not know why they are unable to open a session, requested a password reset, thinking they forgot what it.

  • I can't create a password for my Windows account.

    I can't put a password for my administrator account. Whenever I try, I get a message saying that Windows cannot change the password.
    I can set passwords on other accounts, just not this one.
    All the answers?

    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).

    Let us know if this helps you or if assistance is needed.
