After 8.1 software update phone does not recognise Microsoft account password, I can however login via internet explorer using this password.

Any help appreciated Hans

Do you have multi-factor authentication turned on in your Microsoft account? If so, you previously had to use an app password to log into your phone. Now, your phone can accept your regular password with 2FA.
