Can you sign in on a computer?
See if you can sign in to your account using a computer. To do this, go to Account overview (http://account.live.com/) , enter your Microsoft account and password, then click Sign In. If you have issues signing in on a computer, then visit the Forgotten password or other sign-in problems (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/sign-in-cant) help article.


Is the Microsoft account service running?
Occasionally, you may see an error during sign-in. However, these kinds of problems are usually temporary and are resolved quickly. You can make sure that the Microsoft account service is running normally. To do this, check the Service status (https://status.live.com/detail/liveid) webpage.


Is your password too long?
Make sure that your Microsoft account password is not too long. It must be no longer than 16 characters long. If it is too long, go to the Change your password (https://account.live.com/Password/Change) page and change it to a shorter password.


Does your password contain a space or special characters?
If your password contains a space or special characters, try changing your password so that it uses only letters and numbers. To do this, go to the Change your password (https://account.live.com/ChangePassword.aspx) page, change your password, and then try to sign in to your phone.


Did you forget your password and need to reset it?
If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it. To do this, go to the go to Reset your password (https://account.live.com/password/reset) webpage or visit the Forgotten password or other sign-in problems (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/sign-in-cant) help article


When you created your Microsoft account, did you complete the verification process?
If you created your Microsoft account recently, you may not have completed the registration process and may still have to verify your account. To do this, go to the Verify this email address (https://account.live.com/verifysi.aspx) webpage and follow the prompts.


Did you recently change or rename your primary Microsoft account?
If you recently changed or renamed your primary Microsoft account, you will have to reset your phone in order to change the Microsoft account on your Windows Phone. For more information, see the following Microsoft KB article:

•	2430020 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2430020) How to change the Microsoft account on your Windows Phone

Do you have a working data connection on your phone and the date and time set correctly?
If you don’t have a strong cellular data connection, try connecting to Wi-Fi. You should also make sure that the date and time are set correctly in your Windows Phone settings. For more information, see the following Microsoft KB article:

•	2784236 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2784236)  Can’t add Microsoft account during initial setup of Windows Phone 8

Did you recently enable two-step verification on your Microsoft account?

If you turned on two-step verification for your Microsoft account, you will have to perform an extra step to sign in on Windows Phone. Windows Phone can't prompt you to enter a security code when you try to sign in. Therefore, you'll have to create a unique app password to use when signing into Windows Phone with a Microsoft account that has two-step verification turned on.

To create a unique app password for your Microsoft account, go here:

•	Two-step verification: Create app password (https://account.live.com/Proofs/AppPassword)

For more information, see the following Microsoft account help and how-to article:

•	Two-step verification: FAQ (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/two-step-verification-faq)

Do you have a working data connection on your phone and the date and time set correctly?

If you don’t have a strong cellular data connection, try connecting to Wi-Fi. You should also ensure your Date & Time on Windows Phone is set correctly in settings. For more information, see the following Microsoft KB article:

•	2784236 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2784236) Can’t add Microsoft account during initial setup of Windows Phone 8

Are you sure that you’re using a Microsoft account to log in?
If the email address that you entered is not one that you already use for accessing Microsoft services such as Xbox LIVE, Zune, Hotmail, MSN, or SkyDrive, you might have entered an email address that isn't yet a Microsoft account. You can use any email address to set up a Microsoft account. 

To create a Microsoft account for an email address that you already have, go to Account overview, (http://account.live.com/) and then click or tap Sign Up.

If your account has been compromised, you may experience one of the following scenarios:

•	You notice unauthorized charges.
•	You receive a pop-up windows or message, such as an achievement that you don’t recognize or that you've signed in from another location.
•	You cannot login to your Microsoft account (formerly known as Windows Live ID) to change your password.
•	You notice unrecognized strong proofs associated with your account. (For more information about proofs, see #1 in the More Information below.)

If you encounter any of the above scenarios, follow the steps below:

1.	Change your Password • When you suspect something suspicious has happened with your account, you should change your password immediately. • Go to https://account.live.com/ and see if you can still log into your Microsoft account. • If you can, change your password immediately and setup strong proofs (if none exist). We highly recommend setting up an SMS and Trusted PC under Account Information section, then go to step 2. • If you cannot sign in to your Microsoft account to change your password or if you notice unrecognized strong proofs, skip to Step 3.
2.	Check your bill • Go to http://billing.microsoft.com/ and check for any suspicious purchases. As with any billing statements, you should check this on a regular basis.
3.	Contact Windows Phone Support, if needed. Contact support if: • There are unauthorized charges on your account. • You are unable to change your password. • Your gamertag has changed. We can guide you through the next steps. To help us, please have the following information ready: • The Microsoft account associated with your gamertag. • An alternate email that is different than the one associated with your Microsoft account. • You may also need the credit card associated with your account.

To contact Windows Phone Support visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227747 .

Follow this checklist to make sure your Windows Phone account is as secure as possible.

1.	Add additional security proofs to your Microsoft account Your Microsoft account allows you to create your own spare set of keys or "proofs" in case you lose your password or access to your account using the following four methods: • Mobile number. Adding a mobile phone number can help us verify that this is your account. Also, if you forget your password, you can use this number to reset your password. Tip We strongly recommend that you set this up now as the primary way of retrieving your account back to you in the event it gets compromised. • Trusted PC. A unique proof that lets you link your Microsoft account with one or more of your personal computers. Then, if you ever need to regain control of your account by resetting your password, you simply need to be using your computer and we will know you are the legitimate owner. • Email address. Used to support password reset notifications. You can have one or more email addresses associated with your account. • Secret question. If you forget your password, we'll ask for your secret answer to verify your identity. Only you should know your secret question and secret answer. Tip Use an answer that is completely irrelevant to the question being asked. For example, if your question is "Mothers' birthplace," then use Windows98se as your secret answer. To add password reset information: • Go to the https://account.live.com/p/ webpage, and then sign in with your Microsoft account.
2.	Create a strong password on your Xbox LIVE account Using a simple password that is in a dictionary or the name of your pet dog can be very easy to guess. Create a strong password that includes a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (for example, #, $, %, ^, &, and *). Tip Think of a memorable sentence from your favorite film, book or song lyric then take the first letter of each word in the sentence, then add meaningful numbers and add special characters to make the password strong then https://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/password-checker.aspx to see how strong your password is.
3.	Use different usernames and passwords for different sites Use different usernames and passwords to different online sites, especially important sites which hold financial or personal information. If you use the same username and password everywhere, and they're stolen, you could lose access to all of your accounts at once.
4.	Take caution when using your Microsoft account in public places or a shared computer If you check your Hotmail account, sign into xbox.com, or use another service which requires you to use your Microsoft account credentials on a public computer (such as an Internet café), take caution in that these computers may not offer the same protection that you might have at home. We recommend that if you are looking to use a public computer that you use a single-use code instead of your password when signing in with your Microsoft account. Find out more about how to set this up here. If you do have to use your regular Microsoft account password, remember to sign out and close any browsers when finished.
5.	Avoid sharing personal information Share your Microsoft account only with people you know and trust. Treat your personal information online the same way you would offline--follow the same rules as you do in the real world as you do online.
6.	Never share any personal details about you or your account Do not give your full name to strangers over the Internet. Do not put your full name in any public facing profile. Keep your physical address private. Telling someone what school you go to or what neighborhood you live in can be enough to locate more information about you. Think of all the personal information that you have likely posted to social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, or Windows Live SkyDrive that someone could use to pose as you. Do not put your full physical address in your profile. Do not give out your primary Microsoft account as an email address to strangers. Set up a secondary email account at http://www.hotmail.com/ , which you can use for communication with unknown people, mailing lists, etc. Maintain a strong password on the secondary email account as you do for your primary account. Do not unnecessarily reveal information about yourself or your accounts. Be wary of anyone asking you for information that they do not need. Do not share your password or personal information with anyone contacting you who is presenting themselves as a customer support agent or affiliated with Windows Phone, Xbox, Zune or Microsoft. If you are concerned that the contact might not be legitimate, contact Windows Phone, Xbox, or Zune Support. Microsoft will never ask for your password in email, through instant messaging, or over the phone. Enter your Microsoft account password only at known Microsoft sites or on the phone.
7.	Install or update your Virus, Spyware, Malware protection software for your computer Make sure you are running your virus protection software, and that it is up to date. If you don’t have any protection software installed we strongly recommend you do so now. Microsoft Security Essentials is free Antivirus software available for download that also protects against spyware and other malicious software.
8.	Update your web browser and PC with latest security fixes To ensure your web browser and computer is up to date with the latest security fixes, check to make sure you have the latest updates from Windows Update .
9.	Make sure your browser phishing filters are turned on Enabling these in your web browser helps detect phishing websites, protects you from downloading or installing malware (malicious software), and can alert you of any potential scamming websites. Normally these are turned on by default; however it's best to double check: • Internet Explorer: Select the "gear" icon on the tool bar, select Safety, and then select Turn On Smart Screen Filter. • For all other browsers: Check the browser's online help.
10.	Only log in to Microsoft trusted websites with your Windows Live credentials Is the website an official Microsoft site? Beware of websites which ask for your Windows LIVE account details, especially sites which offer deals that are too good to be true, such as free Microsoft Points. Check the address bar in your browser before entering any details. You can identify common Microsoft sites by the following addresses: • Xbox.com • Kinectshare.com • Microsoft.com • xbox.mobi • Zune.net • live.com • getgamesmart.com • XNA.com • lionhead.com • forzamotorsport.net • Hotmail.com • Passport.net
11.	Don’t click links in emails, go to the site directly and log in If you see a link in a suspicious email message, don't click on it. You can generally spot suspicious emails by • Alarmist messages and threats of account closures. • Deals that sound too good to be true. • Bad grammar and misspellings. Instead, type out the address in your web browser to see if you are going to the actual company’s website.
