Hotmail Account
Margaret Sieverding
While signing in, select Yes at the "Stay signed in?" prompt if you want to go straight to your mailbox next time (not recommended for shared computers). Alternatively, check the "Don't show this again" box and select No to be prompted for your password each time.
Microsoft always keeps an eye out for unusual sign-in activity, just in case someone else is trying to get into your account. If you're travelling to a new place or using a new device, we might ask you to confirm that it really is you.
to try to regain access to your account, you can try to use the Recovery Form:
Microsoft provides a recovery form that you can fill out to verify your identity and regain access to your account. Here is how to use it:
@LeonPavesic Thank you so much for giving the tips. I did try to fill out the form it gave me error message (The Microsoft account you've entered does not exist.). seems like they permanently deleted that account, I don't know how they can do that. I have that email last 35 years and has all my all info, history data. Thanks again for you time for replying to this message.
Since I had to use gmail to connect to dropbox (basic) because my hotmail-account was not valid anymore, I used the hotmail account for the gmail-profile. However, all my photo's that where on the hotmail-account, were not present in the gmail-profile.
It isnt possible to have a hotmail and a Gmail link like that I'm afraid. So that means you actually have 2 accounts - one which is Hotmail and one which is Gmail. When you have swapped from one to the other you've set up a second account which wont have the data of the previous one in.
Did this post not resolve your issue? If so please give us some more information so we can try and help - please remember we cannot see over your shoulder so be as descriptive as possible!
Two-step verification helps protect you by making it more difficult for someone else to sign in to your email account. It uses two different forms of identity: your password, and a contact method. Even if someone else finds your password, they'll be stopped if they don't have access to your other devices or accounts.
You set up two-step verification with an email address, phone number, or authenticator app. When you sign in on a new device or from a new location, we'll send you a security code that you enter on the sign-in page as a second form of authentication in addition to your password.
After you have setup two-step verification, you can also obtain an app password that you will have to use in order to use Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) migration to copy email from your Outlook.com or Hotmail.com account to your Microsoft 365 or Office 365 for business account. If your Microsoft 365 or Office 365 admin is moving email messages from your Outlook.com or Hotmail.com account to Microsoft 365 or Office 365 on your behalf, you'll need to give them your app password.
If you want to navigate to the Security settings page, in Outlook.com click or tap your profile picture on the upper right > View account and on the Account page, On your Account page, choose Security on the blue bar and then, more security options.
Even though the page indicates this is for Windows Phone 8 (or earlier), this list contains the app password your admin needs to migrate you hotmail.com or outlook.com email to Office 365 for business. You will need this app password even if you set up two-step verification by using an Android or iPhone.
You don't need to memorize this password; it changes constantly and a new one is sent to you via the Microsoft Authenticator app. This is why it's so secure. Whenever you sign in to your email account from a new device or location, look at your Microsoft Authenticator app and sign in using latest app password that's been sent to you instead of using your old static password.
You'll get a message that two-step verification is turned on. Print your new recovery code (this isn't your app password). If you ever need to recover, access to this account, this recovery code will help. It's a good idea to keep it tucked away in a safe place.
I have tried the options like forgot password etc but because 2 step auth is on, its prompting me for a SMS Code (Which I do get) but also additional security in the form of my Authenticator! (Which I don't have access to!). Is there any way to recover my account other than the 30 day wait? I get the SMS codes but its useless as its asking me for additional as described above. I am also unsure of a 25 digit recovery code.
I've tried to get help from MS UK, but support is pretty much non existent. I cannot wait 30 days, I am currently going through divorce and all my emails, docs and important info is tied to my account.
In addition, I'm still paying for Gamepass ultimate which I cant use at the moment. Its ridiculous that I cant get reset or get access even though I can get SMS codes and answer all the recovery questions needed.
You can recover your account credentials from your cloud account, but you must first make sure that the account you're recovering doesn't exist in the Microsoft Authenticator app. For example, if you're recovering your personal Microsoft account, you must make sure you don't have a personal Microsoft account already set up in the authenticator app. This check is important so we can be sure we're not overwriting or erasing an existing account by mistake.

If you've changed your primary email address and are no longer using Hotmail, you may be thinking of permanently deleting a hotmail.com email address. In this article, we provide an easy-to-follow instruction that will help you along the way.
Hotmail.com email addresses are owned by Microsoft, so your Hotmail account is a part of your Microsoft account. This means that to delete a Hotmail.com email address, you'll have to delete your Microsoft 365 account that is associated with this address.
After you request to close your account, Microsoft will not delete it right away. Your account will be deactivated first and you will have 30 or 60 days (depending on your choice) to re-open it in case you change your mind. This helps prevent fraudulent activity and protect your account.
We recommend saving old emails into another online account because this will make your Hotmail archive easily accessible. Keeping an archive of your old email online is also safer than storing it on a hard drive.
VaultMe can migrate your Hotmail emails into almost any email provider's inbox (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and others). It can also transfer your OneDrive files, contacts, and calendars to another account.
You should make sure that none of your online accounts are linked to the unwanted Hotmail address before you delete the account. You will have to go through all services associated with the old hotmail.com email address one by one and replace the address there.
Your account will continue to receive emails during the 30 or 60-day waiting period, even if you don't sign in to it. You can use this period to notify people in your contact list that your Hotmail address is no longer in use and will be deleted soon. To do that, you can send a batch email or you can create an automatic reply. Temporarily setting up automatic replies in Hotmail before account deletion
All data associated with your Hotmail / Microsoft 365 account will be removed. You will not be able to use any Microsoft services that are linked to this email address. However, you can avoid losing your email history and your OneDrive files if you migrate them to a different account before requesting cancellation of the account.
Deleted Hotmail accounts are closed permanently and cannot be recovered. We recommend copying your Hotmail emails and OneDrive files to a different account before closing your Hotmail account. This way, once a Hotmail account is closed, your content will be safely stored in a different account.

Hotmail, which is known as the pioneer of web-based email service, played a significant role in shaping the people used to communicate over the Internet realm. Hotmail was founded by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith on 4th July 1996. The word Hotmail is acquired from the concept of HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language)and "mail" signifies its online nature.
At that time, emails can only be accessed by desktop applications, which requires some specific software installation.Hotmail transformed it by providing users with the capability to access their email accounts with any web browser.A year after its launch, www.hotmail.com gained massive popularity among internet users. Attracting the technologygiant Microsoft. After getting a glimpse of this platform, Microsoft finally decided to purchase www.hotmail.com in 1997,making it a part of Microsoft Network.
Dark mode is a display option in many desktop/mobile applications. It helps to change the display colour scheme from a light background to a dark one. The key function of the dark mode is to reduce eye strain & improve visibility in low-light conditions.
Go to Settings>Mail>Accounts>Add Account and add the account to your device. You will need your email address, account password. Some Microsoft accounts also require an app specific password if you are not using their app, which for Hotmail should be the Outlook app. Otherwise you can download that app and add the account to it. Up to you.
