How are these people losing access to their MS accounts on their computers?

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 41 points 4 days ago (8 children)

Step one, be forced to create a Microsoft account.

Step two, create the account with a password you are SURE you remember

Step three, create a PIN so you never have to enter your password

Step four, forget your password

That's if the password recovery feature was set up properly.
