Windows ONLY allows login using Passcode. Passwords no longer work.

Just, 10/14//26, updated Windows 365 Pro Family plan. I also subscribe to MS Office pro 365. Since immediatly after update & reboot, all my passwords no longer work. Everything only wants passcodes. I have several MS email Accounts, and all are scrambled and can't use passcode or password.

MS provides no single consumer user support except to business and corporate customers.

all the help links I've found require a logon and must use passcode .... passwords are refused with message that account doesn't exist.

I've not found any information to remove update and go to last version.

I'm very concerned that Microsoft is abandoning users like me that pay for subscription.

If I take my pc to a computer shop, will microsoft pay the shop to fix windows and get me back to having a pc that works?

Disappointed.
