What I need answers on here is that using the Windows Live Mail client, not the Microsoft email client, while it provides users to sync with their Microsoft account with Hotmail, apparently isn't recognizing the fact that I had changed my password with my Hotmail account recently, and I don't understand it when I did that, and Microsoft verified my changes, and on the browser website for Microsoft, I was able to log in with the new password, which was a "fix" for my Microsoft a month ago, which I had to wait for Microsoft to send me a "code" in order to "fix" my Microsoft account, which perturbs me to no end as to why Microsoft makes you wait ONE MONTH to get that code to "fix" your account!  But, today was the day that Microsoft allowed me a code to fix my account with them, and was able to do so.  Now while on my laptop, a Lenovo, using Windows 10, I now was able to load in my emails with my Hotmail and Gmail accounts on the Microsoft email client.  But, while I had to wait a month before I was able to use that email client, I downloaded and programmed my personal email accounts that had POP accounts onto the Windows Live Mail client which was all set and working properly; except for using a provided synch'd email using Hotmail that Windows Live Mail has in its upper right window to get user's hotmail emails.  Since today after I reset my password, and that Microsoft accepted the change of password and aptly provided me to use its email client using both Hotmail & Gmail accounts, I thought I'd try that using Windows Live Mail as explained above.  Every time I tried to log on with my new hotmail account password that was changed today and accepted by Microsoft, it kept stating that my password (and/or user name) were "incorrect" and to try another account or to use the "Forgot password" to get a new one.  I DO NOT want to do that as I had already CHANGED that Hotmail password as of today,  January 26, 2018, which was the day that Microsoft was to send me a "code" in order to fix my hotmail and gmail accounts.  But the Windows Live Mail client does NOT recognize my new password for my Hotmail account and I am NOT able to log on to that account for some strange reason!  However, I am using now the Microsoft Mail client and can get both my Hotmail and Gmail emails, just on a different client.  I still use Windows Live Mail for my other POP3 email accounts.  I just can't log on when in Windows Live Mail to the Microsoft Hotmail account.  Do you "techies" now understand my dilemma?
