更改或重置您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)} 密码^{(password doesn)}不一定是痛苦的经历。您可以使用 Microsoft 的密码重置功能创建新密码，然后快速上路。

无论您是要更改当前密码以使其更安全，还是需要重置忘记的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}密码，我们都会引导您完成这些步骤。 

Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}与Windows 用户帐户^{(Windows User Account)}

首先，关于Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}和Windows 用户^{(Windows user)}帐户之间的区别的说明。您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}密码可能与您的Windows 密码^{(Windows password)}不同。您的Windows 密码^{(Windows password)}也称为您的用户帐户密码^{(user account password)}。当您在Windows 计算机^{(Windows computer)}上创建用户帐户时，您可以选择创建本地帐户或创建和/或使用Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}登录。 

如果您创建了本地Windows 帐户^{(Windows account)}，您的帐户设置和个人文件将本地保存到您计算机的硬盘驱动器中。如果您使用Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}登录，则您的大部分帐户设置和个人文件都保存在 Microsoft 服务器上的云中。 

换句话说，如果您使用本地帐户密码登录^{(account password)}Windows 10或 Windows 11，当您想要使用Microsoft服务和应用程序（如OneDrive、Outlook.com或您的Xbox^{(Xbox Live )} ）时，您仍然需要登录您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}真实账户。 

另外请注意，如果您使用LastPass或KeePass等密码管理器^{(password manager)}，并且您在 2009 年之前创建了Microsoft 帐户，则您的^{(Microsoft account)}Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}密码可能会列为Live.com 密码^{(Live.com password)}。 

接下来，我们将讨论如何更改您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}密码，然后我们将讨论如果您忘记了如何重置您的Microsoft 帐户密码。^{(Microsoft account)}

如何更改您的 Microsoft 帐户密码^{(Your Microsoft Account Password)}

这些是您知道当前Microsoft 密码^{(Microsoft password)}并想要更改它时的说明。这是创建更强密码以提高帐户安全性的好机会。

1. 在 Web 浏览器中，导航到account.microsoft.com。 
2. ^(Sign)如果您尚未登录，请登录您的Microsoft 帐户。^{(Microsoft account)}

1. 在导航菜单^{(navigation menu)}中选择安全^(Security)。（系统可能会提示您再次输入您的帐户密码^{(account password)}。）

1. 选择更改密码^{(Change password)}。

1. 此时，系统可能会提示您验证您的身份。选择您喜欢的身份验证方法^{(authentication method)}并按照验证步骤进行操作。在下面的示例中，我们要求通过电子邮件发送 安全代码。^{(security code)}

1. 系统可能还会询问您是否要下载Microsoft Authenticator 应用程序^{(Microsoft Authenticator app)}。如果您选择这样做，将来您将能够使用Microsoft Authenticator 应用程序^{(Microsoft Authenticator app)}来验证您的身份。

1. 接下来，输入您的当前密码和新密码。如果您愿意，可以选中复选框以提示每 72 天更改一次密码。

1. 选择保存^(Save)按钮。

如果由于任何原因，您无法按照上述步骤更改密码，您应该尝试的第一个故障排除方法^{(troubleshooting method)}是按照以下步骤重置您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}密码。 

如何重置您的Microsoft 帐户密码^{(Microsoft Account Password)}

如果您不知道您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}密码，Microsoft将不再使用密码^{(use password)}提示。不过，您可以尝试使用忘记密码^{(Forgot Password)}链接来恢复您的密码，然后再进行重置。

1. 转到account.microsoft.com并选择登录^{(Sign in)}。
2. 选择忘记密码^{(Forgot password)}链接。

1. 选择您喜欢的身份验证方法^{(identity verification method)}。如果您没有看到任何验证选项或无法访问提供的选项，则您将无法使用此方法重设密码。在这种情况下，选择我没有这些^{(I don’t have any of these)}，然后按照说明开始帐户恢复过程^{(account recovery process)}。

1. 选择获取安全码^{(security code)}的方式后，系统可能会提示您填写帐户电子邮件地址^{(account email address)}的隐藏部分、您提供的备用电子邮件地址^{(email address)}或电话号码^{(phone number)}。然后选择获取代码^{(Get code)}按钮。

1. 输入验证码。

1. 接下来，系统将提示您输入新密码并选择^{(password and select)} 下一步^{(Next )}以完成该过程。

现在您已成功重置您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}密码，您还应该花时间查看您的安全信息和安全问题^{(security info and security questions)}。 

Microsoft的其他安全工具^{(Security Tools)}

Microsoft提供帐户帮助和安全工具^{(account help and security tools)}，您可以使用这些工具来确保帐户安全^{(account secure)}。您可以通过访问account.microsoft.com并从顶部导航菜单中选择安全来完成所有这些操作。^(Security)

在此页面上，您可以：

• 开启两步验证。
• 查看登录活动。
• 更改您的密码
• 尝试最新的安全选项。
• 查看为您的Windows 操作系统^{(Windows operating)}版本^{(system version)}推荐的安全和防病毒应用程序^{(security and antivirus apps)}。

尝试最新安全选项的选项将允许您管理帐户的登录和验证选项。您可以退出所有设备（Xbox除外）或添加额外的安全性，例如打开无密码帐户^{(passwordless account)}选项。

在您离开之前，生成您自己的个人恢复代码^{(Recovery Code)}。Microsoft建议您打印出恢复代码^{(recovery code)}并将其保存在安全的地方或拍照。无论哪种情况，如果您无法访问您的登录信息，您都可以使用它来访问您的帐户。

How to Change or Reset Your Microsoft Account Password

Changing or resetting yоur Microsoft account password doesn’t need to be a traumatic experience. You can create a new password using Microsoft’ѕ password reset featurе and quickly be on your way.

Whether you want to change your current password to make it more secure or you need to reset a forgotten Microsoft account password, we’ll walk you through the steps. 

Microsoft Account vs. Windows User Account

First, a note about the difference between a Microsoft account and a Windows user account. Your Microsoft account password may be different from your Windows password. Your Windows password is also called your user account password. When you created a user account on your Windows computer, you had the option to create a local account or create and/or sign in with a Microsoft account. 

If you created a local Windows account, your account settings and personal files are saved locally to your computer’s hard drive. If you signed in with a Microsoft account, most of your account settings and personal files are saved in the cloud on Microsoft’s servers. 

In other words, if you sign into Windows 10 or Windows 11 with a local account password, you’ll still need to sign into your Microsoft account when you want to use Microsoft services and apps such as OneDrive, Outlook.com, or your Xbox Live account. 

Also, note that if you use a password manager like LastPass or KeePass and you created your Microsoft account before 2009, your Microsoft account password may be listed as your Live.com password. 

Next, we’ll go over how to change your Microsoft account password, and then we’ll discuss how to reset your Microsoft account password if you’ve forgotten it.

How to Change Your Microsoft Account Password

These are instructions for when you know your current Microsoft password and want to change it. This is a good opportunity to create a stronger password to improve your account’s security.

1. In a web browser, navigate to account.microsoft.com. 
2. Sign into your Microsoft account if you’re not already.

1. Select Security in the navigation menu. (You may be prompted to enter your account password again.)

1. Select Change password.

1. At this point, you may be prompted to verify your identity. Select your preferred authentication method and follow the verification steps. In the example below, we’ve requested that a security code be sent by email. 

1. You may also be asked if you’d like to download the Microsoft Authenticator app. If you choose to, in the future you’ll be able to use the Microsoft Authenticator app to verify your identity.

1. Next, enter your current password and your new password. If you wish, you can check the box for a prompt to change your password every 72 days.

1. Select the Save button.

If for any reason, you’re unable to change your password by following the steps above, the first troubleshooting method you should try is to follow the steps below to reset your Microsoft account password. 

How to Reset Your Microsoft Account Password

If you don’t know your Microsoft account password, Microsoft doesn’t use password hints anymore. Still, you can try using the Forgot Password link to recover your password before resorting to resetting it.

1. Go to account.microsoft.com and select Sign in.
2. Select the Forgot password link.

1. Select your preferred identity verification method. If you don’t see any verification options or can’t access the options offered, you won’t be able to reset your password using this method. In that case, select I don’t have any of these and follow the instructions to begin the account recovery process.

1. After choosing how you want to get your security code, you may be prompted to fill in the hidden part of your account email address, an alternate email address you’ve provided, or your phone number. Then select the Get code button.

1. Enter the verification code.

1. Next, you’ll be prompted to enter a new password and select Next to complete the process.

Now that you’ve successfully reset your Microsoft account password, you should also take the time to review your security info and security questions. 

Additional Security Tools from Microsoft

Microsoft provides account help and security tools you can use to keep your account secure. You can do all this by visiting account.microsoft.com and selecting Security from the top navigation menu.

On this page, you can:

• Turn on two-step verification.
• View sign-in activity.
• Change your password
• Try the latest security options.
• Check out security and antivirus apps recommended for your Windows operating system version.

The option for trying the latest security options will allow you to manage sign-in and verification options for your account. You can sign yourself out of all devices (except Xbox) or add additional security like turning on the option for a passwordless account.

Before you leave, generate your own personal Recovery Code. Microsoft recommends that you print out the recovery code and keep it in a safe place or take a picture of it. In either case, you can use it to access your account if you lose access to your sign-in information.
