Question:

I created a new Microsoft account in the reminder app and signed in, but it doesn't seem to be synchronized. What should I do?

Answer:

Due to a current limitation by Microsoft, you need to log in once on the website (https://to-do.live.com) using your newly created account. This will synchronize your account across all devices. After this one-time login, you should be able to access your reminders seamlessly on your mobile device. This issue will be resolved by early November 2020 for an enhanced mobile experience.
