Microsoft account: Login

Home | cnni8

A Microsoft account comprises an email address and password necessary to access Microsoft's devices, websites, and services. This ID is mandatory for popular products and services like the Windows 10 or 11 computer, Xbox Series X console, Microsoft 365 subscription, Skype, OneDrive, Microsoft Edge, Bing, and others. If you're using an email address and password to sign in to Microsoft devices and services, you already possess a Microsoft account.

To log in to your Microsoft account, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Microsoft account dashboard at https://account.microsoft.com/account/Account.
  2. If you have a work or school account, go to your Account portal.
  3. If prompted, select Sign in and type the email, phone number, or Skype sign-in that you use for other services (Outlook, Excel, etc.), then select Next.
  4. Type your password.
  5. Select the Keep me signed in box if you want to go straight into your account next time (not recommended for shared computers).
  6. Select Sign in.

If you do not already possess a Microsoft account, you may choose "No account? Create one!" and comply with the given instructions to establish a new account.

Please note that an internet connection is mandatory to sign in to any Microsoft service utilizing a Microsoft account. However, subsequent to the primary login, you may utilize a Microsoft account offline as well.
