I'm using Outlook on my phone. I never have to change the password on that, as it somehow syncs automatically with any password change I do on my desktop.

I also use like two-step verification, where rather than use my basic Hotmail password, I use a generated one that I copy and paste into Live Mail. I've even tried that, and the error keeps popping up where it fails to log in.

My IP is also static unless the router resets.

It could also be to do with my phone being linked via the same IP address onto my computer. More often than not, even with a VPN, Google still knows my location. Looking it up though, it doesn't mean the VPN isn't working.

Basically, on my my desktop computer, my IP address displays a completely different city/place to where I actually am. However, if I Google my location (not signed in), it displays the right area. I've been wracking my brains, and out of curiosity, how is this possible, when my computer is...
