Windows 10: How to connect via rdp to main Microsoft account

HelloI'm trying to connect via rdp to my main account on my pc by android rdp app. I cannot get what username and password enter. I made up another test local user and rdp for this user works good. But I want to login by my main account. I'm logged by Microsoft account and I'm using pin as password. I have changed my ms password, pin and I still can't connect. How to reset access local password to this account?

Microsoft Account and Authentication during RDP

Hello, trying to RDP to my windows 10 (fall creators update) via RDP but the RDP client always fails with invalid credential.

I have tried the combinations:

• Microsoft account primary alias and Microsoft account password
• Local username associated with my Microsoft account and Microsoft account password

Neither is accepted for sign in. I have Mobile sign in enabled on my account so I technically never entered my password here.

 

RDP connection to computer with microsoft account

Hello,
I am trying to setup RDP connection between two Windows 10 machines. The PC from which the connection is opened is using a local account while the PC that I'm trying to connect to is using a Microsoft account.

Upon entering the string MicrosoftAccount\L: [email protected] with the correct password no connection is established.

Thank you in advance,
Benny.
