each time you try to sign in to your account. This security the username or password is incorrect code is sent to your registered mobile phone or alternative email ID. Recently Microsoft enabled this 2-step verification feature microsoft account login for Microsoft accounts which are used for emails, Windows 8, XBox, etc. On the other hand Google is already providing two-step verification in its Gmail service since long time. If you enabled http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/livemail-email/problems-with-windows-live-mail-receives-error/b8a5b0e8-0dc4-4b81-bf9c-e8c29ae06be5 2-step verification feature in your Microsoft or Gmail account, you might be facing a weird issue.

It'll show you an incorrect password error message even if your password is absolutely correct. The http://www.askvg.com/fix-mail-apps-and-devices-shows-incorrect-password-error-after-enabling-2-step-verification-in-microsoft-or-gmail-account/ same problem will also occur if you try to sign in using your Microsoft account in devices such as Xbox 360 or Android smartphones. Now the question comes why does this problem occur? Why do these mail apps and devices not accept your correct password? The answer is very simple. These mail apps and devices were not designed to ask you for the extra security code which is required for 2-step verification. Since these apps and devices don't ask for security code, the 2-step verification procedure is not completed successfully, hence you can't sign in using your credentials in those apps and devices. So what's the solution? The solution is very simple. Every company which provides 2-step verification feature, also allows you to create special passwords for these mail apps and devices. You can create separate passwords for each app and device and then you can use that special password to sign in to those apps or devices. Now those apps and devices will accept the new password and will allow you to access your account without any problem. So if you have enabled 2-step verification feature in Micros

Here’s the full text: Microsoft account passwords contain up to 16 characters. If you’ve been using a password that has more than 16 characters, enter the first 16. Let me rephrase that: if you have a password that has more than 16 characters, it will no longer work. Microsoft is making your life easier! You no longer have to input your whole password! Just put in the first 16 characters! When Outlook.com launched some two months ago, it limited passwords to 16 characters in length. Sophos posted an excellent password length comparison between Outlook.com (16 characters), Yahoo (32 characters), and Gmail (200+ characters). Today’s story is about Microsoft apparently limiting Hotmail password lengths from their previous to length, to no loner than 16 characters. This is ridiculous. It might not seem like a big deal to you as you probably don’t have such a long password, but the issue goes deeper. If Microsoft is suddenly only accepting the first 16 characters of lo
