How to Reset Your Microsoft Account Password

Your Microsoft account is a single sign-on account, meaning that this single account can be used to log on to a number of different services. Microsoft accounts are commonly used to sign on to Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows 8 computers, the Microsoft Store, Windows Phone devices, Xbox video game systems, Outlook.com, Skype, Microsoft 365, OneDrive, and more. Reset your Microsoft password if you have forgotten it or think it might have been compromised. The process is easy. If you reset your Microsoft account password so you can now log in to your Windows 11, 10, or 8 computer, be sure you’re connected to the internet at the Windows sign-in screen. If for some reason the internet isn’t available to you at this point then Windows won’t get word from Microsoft’s servers about your new password! You might have to complete the other verification process if you have two-step verification turned on. For example, if you entered the code you received via text message, you might need to also use the authenticator app to get another code.
