I have been facing the following strange behaviour on Microsoft Account password (there is also other closely same case posts in here):

  • the Microsoft Account is based on a Gmail Account, with a different password
  • the password was changed on Skype, and now well working for it and also for Microsoft Account general login
  • the old password is despite now still valid for Windows 10 Microsoft Account login

Seems quite strange, and even frightening, if there may arise some contradiction or mess with/between those two different passwords for this critical Microsoft Account ...

What to do now, or maybe what not to do, anyway to be safe in future?

    Disconnect the account from your profile, the connect it, this is well know behavior since Windows 8 was released.

OK, changed the Microsoft password once again, and got the case cleared. Anyway thanks for @Ramhound for the hint.
