I was working from coworking space yesterday and noticed that I had to sign in into everything on the web, today, when I started my PC on my home network, I am suddenly locked out of even more accounts. What is going on and how to prevent it? My passwords have not changed at all.

And I am not even getting any passwords hints, what the heck?!

    This solution doesn't make any sense. How does browser cache affect logins in apps like Windows Mail? I am able to log back in just fine on this PC.

    Anyway, I discovered that all my credentials are gone from Credential Manager too https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows\_10-security/all-of-my-web-passwords-are-gone-from-credentials/a8da7675-7924-4b1c-89e1-d82047cadb5b

    I'm sorry for the late reply.

    1. it is possible to sync your credentials to the Windows cloud. Please refer to the below link: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/117899-enab...
    2. As for third-party credential management services that sync to the cloud, there are several options available such as LastPass, Dashlane,1Password.

    I hope this help.

    Is it not possible to sync the credentials to windows cloud?

    Is there an alternative 3rd party credentials service that does sync to cloud?

    I know it is possible to achieve something similar on Apple for example.

    Thank you for the reply. Yes, it does not affect Windows mail. I asked to know if you have access to your account.

    I understand the problem you're experiencing, but unfortunately, once the credentials have been deleted, it won't be possible for us to retrieve them.

    Please check the sign-in of your account to confirm if there are any unknown locations than yours:

    Scan your PC with Windows Security or 3rd party antimalware software

    Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security and then Virus & threat protection.
