How do I log in to my Windows PC when the login is my Microsoft account?

How do I log in to my Windows PC when the login is my Microsoft account?
I don’t have a local login on my PC, just my live.microsoft.com account.  How do I connect to it using NoMachine?

Hi,

see the tips here https://forum.nomachine.com/topic/user-for-instant-access#post-52574 and here https://kb.nomachine.com/AR03S01118. Go to the section for Windows, just below figure 2.

I’ll post here for convenience

1) User Principal Name: <username>@<domain> – so you can use this. If you are not able to, please tell us what error you are seeing when trying to promoted to authenticate on the target Windows machine

2) Down-Level Logon Name:  <domain>\<username>

3)  Short format name, just ‘username’, domain is implicit.
This is not really a different format, since it is just the Down-Level Logon Name without the domain part.

I found a way to turn off the Authenticator login method and now name and password work fine.

Hi Steve,

We are glad to know it’s solved.
