This morning, I encountered login issues with my personal Hotmail account. I attempted to reset the password but was prompted for two-step verification, which I couldn't complete due to not remembering the security email password. I provided my work email instead and my account is now pending access until August 18, [redacted], for verification of the new security email. I tried to cancel the request as I remembered the current security email password but was unsuccessful. Despite receiving an access code on my phone and security email, none of them worked. Accessing my inbox is crucial as I need to retrieve my booking information for an upcoming trip. Time is of the essence.

I am currently unable to access my Microsoft account even after repeatedly entering all the required information on the recovery page over the past six days. Every time I attempt to recover the account, I receive an error stating that my information cannot be verified. The phone number listed for account recovery is a landline and is unable to receive text messages. In addition to providing answers to security questions and details from the account setup, I have also submitted multiple recent email addresses, subject lines, and credit card information related to a recent Microsoft purchase. Despite this, the account verification process remains unsuccessful. I am seeking assistance to better understand the additional steps needed to regain access to my account.

Dear Microsoft Team, My email account "[redacted]" has been locked. I did not send any junk mail. It's possible my account has been hacked or my kids used my email for games, leading to misuse. I am trying to regain access, but the system requires a code to be sent to my registered mobile number. I worked in Saudi Arabia, but 7 months ago after returning, my Saudi number "[redacted][redacted]" was disconnected, making it impossible to receive the code. Please assist in unlocking my account. Thank you, Kamran

I recently received an email around 7/21 that claimed to be from Norton Lifelock stating I was charged $[redacted].xx. The email advised me to contest the charge by calling a number. When I contacted them, they asked me to download a file due to supposedly being charged by unauthorized software. After downloading, a black screen appeared with a moving arrow indicating a 30% completion rate. I grew suspicious and researched Norton scams on my laptop. Realizing the potential threat, I disconnected my computer and blocked the caller's number with Comcast. Additionally, I reported the incident to the FCC. Subsequently, three Amazon gift cards were purchased using a Discover card I do not have. Despite my attempts to intervene, one transaction went through using my bank card by default. To address this, I had to freeze my bank card and obtain a new one. Following the instructions, I deleted the downloaded files. Despite these actions, I received another deceptive email purportedly from Amazon, prompting me to update my payment information under the risk of account closure. Alarmed by these events, I contacted Amazon and noticed the appearance of the black screen during the call, leading me to disconnect from the internet for safety. Understanding the severity of the situation, I sought assistance from Geek Squad to clean my desktop remotely. While the original email has been deleted, two suspicious emails remain in my sent folder. These emails, timestamped at 9:13 and 9:26, falsely claim to be from Amazon, prompting me to report my hacked email to the appropriate authorities.

I suspect my Hotmail account has been compromised as I am unable to access it. This may be due to multiple incorrect password attempts. Although I have received some emails on the account recently, I believe I can regain access if I can retrieve the last password used successfully. Could you assist me in accessing the login information for my most recent successful attempt before I lost access to the account? Thank you for your help in advance.

This morning, I was surprised to find an email from Facebook about a password reset, even though I didn't initiate it. Strangely, the email had already been opened before I viewed it, leading me to believe that my email and Facebook accounts may have been hacked. I'm attempting to reset my email password, but I'm facing issues with Microsoft because they are sending an SMS verification code to my old number, which I changed due to problems with the previous one. I would appreciate your assistance in confirming that it is indeed me trying to reset the password. Thank you.

Dear Community, I am currently facing an issue with my Hotmail account. When I try to log in, a message prompting me to "Help us secure your account" appears. Subsequently, after entering personal details to recover my account on another email address, a bot responding on the alternate email informed me that I did not provide sufficient information. I have already provided my name, date of birth, city with postal code, previous password, subjects of old emails associated with this account, and email addresses contacted in the past. Despite this, I am unable to recover my account successfully. I am seeking guidance on what steps I can take next in order to regain access to my Hotmail account. Thank you for your assistance.
