Take the 2-minute tour ×  From what I've read, Windows should
cache the last used password and I should be able to login even
when offline, but this isn't the case -- using my Microsoft
password is prompting me to use my last used password, which is
in fact what I'm doing!  So, how can I login when I have no
internet connection?  Update: This problem seems to have just
disappeared for me. I could not tell you why — perhaps it's due
to an update — but I'm unable to verify any possible answers
now.  share|improve this question Have you logged in once before

logs on even where there is no internet connection. Could I
suggest you try another account? –  Guy Thomas Dec 16 '12 at

the problem: I need to be able to get on this account. –  Jamie
