Question

If I change the password at Account.Microsoft.Com will that also change the password for my local Outlook 365 Personal and OneDrive?

Thank you,

Answer 1

Yes, changing your password at account.microsoft.com updates your Microsoft account credentials everywhere that account is used. This means:

• Outlook 365 Personal will require the new password when you sign in again.
• OneDrive will also use the updated password.
• Any other Microsoft services linked to that account will be affected.

If you’re already signed in on your devices, they might prompt you to re-enter the new password or refresh the session.

Answer 2

Changing your password at Account.Microsoft.Com will indeed change the password for your Microsoft account, which includes services like Outlook 365 and OneDrive. Since these services are linked to your Microsoft account, any password change will apply across all associated services.
