What do I do if I forget my password?

Asked 5 months ago
Forgetting a password can be an inconvenient situation, but luckily there are options available to recover or reset it. Microsoft OneNote utilizes Microsoft accounts for access, so if a user forgets their account password, they can follow a straightforward process to regain access. First, it is advisable to visit the Microsoft account password reset page. There, the user will be prompted to enter the email address associated with their Microsoft account. The website will then provide instructions for verifying the user's identity. This often involves receiving a verification code via email or SMS, depending on the recovery options that have been set up. Once the verification is complete, users can create a new password that meets the security requirements. It is essential to choose a strong password and consider using a password manager for future management. After resetting the password, users can log back into OneNote with their new credentials. For additional help, one may wish to look for resources on the official Microsoft website, where further assistance might be available.
