If you have an old account where the password was never changed since, making your password too short, you need to update your password.

I recommend to turn your account into a Microsoft account, so that once you login in your system, you dont' need to log back in in the Store, XBox Music, etc. apps.

And you can use OneDrive which is integrated in Windows, and that also allows you to sync your Windows system between your systems.
