Why doesn't Windows 10, on my laptop, recognize my Microsoft account password?

I had this issue all the time; whenever i changed my Microsoft account password, it didn't update on my other devices

the most reliable fix I've found is go to Settings / Accounts / Your info
select the option to sign in with a local account
then after a signing back in
go back to Settings / Accounts / Your info
and choose to sign in again with a Microsoft account

it only takes a minute or two and doesn't cause any issues
but its the best way i've found that will update your login password

the only way to avoid the issue completely is to use a local account or never change your Microsoft password
