We've had our Windows 8 laptop for a few months now. When I first set it up, I signed into our Windows Live account with Microsoft. So our Microsoft Office and Outlook are all tied to that, along with Skydrive. When we power up the laptop in the morning, we log in with the e-mail address and password that we use to sign into Microsoft.
The time may come when the password for that account might have to be changed for security reasons. How or where would I do that so that it gets changed across all formats, like when I log in to the laptop when it's powered up for the day or comes out of standby and so forth?
I was thinking of a hypothetical situation where, say for example, a smartphone that had been used to share photos to Skydrive was lost or stolen, one would want to change the password to the Skydrive account.
If I were to go to Internet Explorer right now, sign into my Microsoft account settings, and change my password there, would that new password work when I power up the laptop tomorrow morning and log in with my e-mail address and password? Or is there somewhere else in the laptop's settings where I would change the password?
