  1. 2 Microsoft Accounts For The Same Email Address


    Hi all,

    Years ago, I made a Microsoft account with my custom-domain email address.

    I now have that email hosted with Office 365, and try to use that as my MS account with everything.

    Is there any risk in deleting the first Microsoft account to stop some things trying to login with it instead of the newer O365 account please? Is there any chance any of MS services will get confused?

    Thanks in advance! 2 Microsoft Accounts For The Same Email Address :)

    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

    Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

    Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


    Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

    It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

    Tutorials:
    Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.

    change email address for Microsoft account

    Hi Keith,

    To better understand the concern, we’d like to know the following information:

    • Are you trying to change the email address while retaining the information you have on the Microsoft account?
    • On which Microsoft platform are you trying to change your email address (Xbox account, Outlook account, Community Forum)?

    We'll be waiting for your response.
