Jeez, I was hoping that was it for questioning for now but ran in to this problem & can't get around it so apologies but here again.
MICROSOFT....
As per thread, I was wondering if a workaround was taking the Excel template, putting it in to something like Dropbox & then using the mobile Excel app to edit - so I did this to test it out.
Excel app wanted me to sign in to my Microsoft account first.
Fired up Bitwarden because I use a password manager for everything, copied across my password - incorrect password. I knew this was nonsense though but it kept not working.
Just now tried logging in to the Microsoft website on PC using the exact same password ... works just fine.
INSTAGRAM...
The reverse of the above really.
I had to change my password so did that (auto generated via Bitwarden & then saved to Bitwarden). I can log in to Instagram via the app on my phone just fine yet when I come to do it on PC via a browser .... incorrect password apparently. Despite it being the exact same one.
LITTLE RANT...
Why is Barclays so annoying when it comes to password managers? They're supposed to make it easier. I had to log in to my Barclays account yesterday which I rarely use but every time I needed to go back to Bitwarden to get some piece of information the app would go back to the start. Very annoying. I had to go through Bitwarden, write down everything I needed & then do it like that. </rant>

Oh yeah, that's the problem with posting early - I forgot to add in the question
Why is it doing that & how do I get it to not do that (without constantly resetting my password)?0
