Problems logging in?

OneDrive, like any other service, requires meeting certain criteria to access, most of them are for our security, but on many occasions failures occur or we forget some information that prevents us from logging into our accounts, that is why we have created a list with Common issues for OneDrive users:

• lost password: Very common, especially when accessing with the Microsoft account. Fortunately you can reset the password and you must follow the following steps:
  • Introducing the email used when registering.
  • Press «Following«.
  • Press «get code«.
  • Check the email inbox, you will have received a recovery message with a code that you must enter and then you can choose your new password (remember to use uppercase, lowercase, numbers and some symbol, so your account will be more secure).
• The app cannot be used to sync a personal account: This is a common error for Windows 8.1 users. To fix this, you need to sign in with your Windows account, search for the OneDrive app, and try to enter it from your PC. If you can’t find it, type “OneDrive” or go to the Windows Store.
• Wrong email or phone number: If you have not logged in since 2015, or you have marked said account to be deleted and more than 60 days have passed, your account will have been permanently deleted, receiving that message and it will be impossible to recover it.

If your problem is not indicated in this list, you can always contact Windows support for OneDrive and explain your problem.

Now you can enjoy this fantastic service and have all your files safe. Also, if you have a business, remember that you can access the version of OneDrive for Businesswith many advantages, more space and advanced management and security features.
