Windows 10: Don't have access to the second email code needed for my account

Don't have access to the second email code needed for my account (the second email account used was deleted due to moving and switching internet providers), and it sent me to a questionnaire that I have filled out 3 times, but was unsuccessful. I am just trying to put windows insider on my current account that won't let me due to not having the code/not successfully filling out the questionnaire. I tried contacting support, but was directed here so that a support engineer can answer it. Is there anything else I can do?

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.

 

Cant access second email account

I have two email accounts, one for work and one for friends, shopping, spam etc.

I put my work email in first (which now I can't change, don't get me started on that!) and I can access emails from that one fine. It works from the small 1x1 email button at the top of the app list.

I added my second account and it created a bigger 2x2 email button at the bottom of the app list. When I tap it it sends me to a screen with an email to the second address. I open the email and its asking me to verify my account and saying its blocked
access to my inbox. It tells me to click on the link to unblock my inbox.

The link just sends me to outlook with the inbox of my work email account though.

How to I access my second email account?

Also, how do you get into outlook normally for emails? When I access my work email there is no outlook, just a black screen which is the inbox where I can switch between all, unread, flagged or urgent. I can only seem to get outlook via the link verification
email. Its all very confusing!

Thx for any help you can give

 

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!
