Xbox suddenly refusing password on guest sign in?
I play couch co-op with my kiddo often. He is the main account signed in, then I sign in too to join him in games. When I sign in, it asks me to put my password in if it's my first log in of the day.
I use the same password I have used for a billion years and until last week it always worked. Then it just suddenly started rejecting it saying it was wrong. I was flummoxed but went and changed it on the Microsoft website just in case. (Was able to log in fine with old password there)
Tried to log in on xbox with the new password and it said nope, wrong password. Still.
I am able to bypass it by scanning the QR code on screen, then going to the Microsoft website on my phone, which asks me to input a code I see on screen, which then generates a code sent to my email which I then enter on the Microsoft website and then it allows me to log in. It's time consuming and faff-y.
Is this a known issue, please? I am 100% certain password is being entered correctly and had been signing in no issues till a week or two ago.
In case it matters the game is Terraria.
