What ONL_E_PASSWORD_UPDATE_REQUIRED actually isolates

ONL_E_PASSWORD_UPDATE_REQUIRED (0x80860004) reports that the account provider requires the user to update the password before continuing. The useful diagnostic unit is the exact object and operation, not the product name alone.

Keep these facts stable

record account identity, provider challenge/correlation ID, token age, sign-in method, and the operation that triggered the password-update requirement.

Corrective test

complete the provider password-update flow interactively, then reacquire credentials/tokens before retrying the original operation. Avoid broad reinstalls or policy changes until that controlled test changes the result.
