I try to login with my username email address removed for privacy reasons

It keeps changing my username to  email address removed for privacy reasons and I then I can no longer login.   I'm a bit confused about my account aliases here as  email address removed for privacy reasons and email address removed for privacy reasons  should be different aliases for the same account but somehow the password for them are different or something as I can login using email address removed for privacy reasons  but not email address removed for privacy reasons for onedrive on PC.
