What are the ways of Account Live Password Reset?

Account Live is a place where you can access everything related to your Microsoft products and services. To do this, all you have to do is to visit account.live.com and create a new account by entering the required credentials. After the successful creation of your account, the next thing that comes your way is Account Live sign in. 

You need to enter your registered email address and password to sign in or log in to your account. At the sign in page, if you see “incorrect password” message, then verify whether you are typing the password correctly or not. If the error persists, then you might have forgotten your password. In this situation, the only choice you are left with is to reset Account Live password via account.live.com/password/reset or account.live.com/acsr. 

Now, you must be thinking about the difference between these two ways of password reset. To know the difference, you have to first understand the two-step authentication feature. It is a feature that needs to be turned on to easily reset Account Live password. This enables a user to get a password reset code on their registered email address and mobile number.
