    Cannot get Verification Email for my account


    I have been attempting to change my personal information on my Live.Account, but it requires me to verify my Email to do so....Unfortunately, as is to be expected from Microsoft, it will never send the Email that contains the Code to me. This is not an official paid Microsoft Email account. but it is a functional Email that I use daily and I am confused as to why a company as Top Level as Microsoft cannot administrate a website that can send an Email. Especially if they are going to demand verification for EVERY operation you perform on the account.I am using Firefox browser, but it doesn't s

    email account hacked. please help

    Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

    Gmail
    Outlook

    The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

    I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!
