I have Office 2007 installed on this machine alongside Chrome and Edge as primary browsers. After the update completed, all my passwords disappeared, making it impossible to access social media or emails. Yesterday, my boss recovered the email credentials and allowed me to log into social platforms without issues. Today, when I tried to sign in, the passwords vanished again. The boss needs to visit and retrieve the lost passwords. I’m upset because I was working from home today. I’m wondering if the update might have corrupted the password file—since a previous update left my personal laptop unusable, triggering BitLocker prompts, and I now own a second-hand laptop from a pawn shop.
Passwords vanished because they were saved across connected Google and Microsoft accounts. They shouldn’t disappear or prevent logins. To avoid disruptions, consider using a dedicated password manager like Dashlane, LastPass, Bitwarden, etc., so file issues won’t halt your workflow while you wait for the next meeting.
I've been using that Windows version for a short time now, and so far there have been no password-related problems. Fingers crossed it gets fixed.
Password managers offer tools tailored for business environments. Features like access control, shared login groups (such as social media teams), cloud synchronization, and more are available. KeepPass is solid, but it lacks those capabilities for typical employees. For effective use in a company, these additional features become essential.
We employ a password manager within our organization, specifically Keepass. The requirements you outlined aren't necessary for us.
I don’t understand, when I launch OutLOOK it asks for the email passwords. There are two accounts added.
