DWhen Abdul changes his password on his mobile device, the desktop computer needs to be connected to the Internet to verify the new password with Microsoft's servers. If it's not connected, it cannot verify the new password. Additionally, when passwords are changed on another device, the cached credentials on the computer (which allow sign-in without internet connectivity) become outdated, leading to sign-in issues until the new password is verified or the cache is updated.
