As a preamble, I did as was suggested on joining this Forum and searched/read through all relevant forums, but could find nothing for this thread.
I recently bought a Company unlocked 5s and went through the process of backing up my 4s to iCloud and then doing a restore on the 5s from iCloud. Everything went as expected, except that on being asked to enter my Hotmail/Outlook account, when I did so it didn't recognise the password ( I keep notes of all passwords etc on on encrypted data bank). I tried it again, but again with no joy. My Outlook password which I use to access my Outlook account on several Windows devices and my 4s is 8 characters long, yet when I go into my 4s Settings/Mail/Outlook/Account and check the (hidden) password length shown on that device it has 16 characters! For the record, I can access my Outlook account on the 5s via Google using the 8 character password, but this is very clumsy and doesn't notify me when I have new mail.
My questions are: Is it possible to have different Passwords for the same account on different (Mac/Windows) platforms?
Is there anyway to unhide the 16 characters of the Outlook password on the 4s?
If I delete the Outlook account on the 5s, how do I go about re establishing it?
Fairly simple language please as Im fairly Numpty!
Thanks in advance.
