Is there a way to ssh into a Microsoft account linked windows 10?

I have installed all the required features like OpenSSH-Server.

When you try to login, it pops up for user password and never recognize any of my passwords; that includes my windows 10's password and the linked outlook email's password.

Hi, hope you're doing well. I'm Ian, and I'm happy to help you today.

Connecting to a Windows 10 system that is linked to a Microsoft account using SSH is not possible natively. The SSH server available in Windows 10, OpenSSH-Server, is not intended to work with Microsoft accounts. It only supports local accounts or Active Directory accounts.

To authenticate through SSH, you will need to establish a local account-based SSH server on the Windows 10 system. Afterward, you can connect to it using the local user account credentials rather than the Microsoft account.
