  1. Error when removing email address from 2FA


    Hi.I have the following 2FA methods enabled:- Email- Phone- MS Authenticator Primary- Security KeyWhen I try to remove the email or phone number, I keep getting an error saying I cannot remove it without adding a new one. However I do not want ANY email or ANY phone number to be able to receive verification codes. The only way I want to verify myself and sign in is with the authenticator application or the security key.How can I get around this error?It specifically says:Before you can remove [PII] you need to add another phone number or alternative email address, or verify an existing one.

    :)

  2. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

  3. How can an incorrect email address be removed from "suggested" list?

    When addressing an email, a list of suggested complete-address choices begins to appear as soon as start typing. I had sent an improperly addressed email and now this bad address shows up as a choice on the suggested list w/out any apparent means of deletion.
    Even going back and deleting the original mis-addressed email from the Sent folder did not make it go away. Also tried the "reset suggestions" option under settings>keyboard>advanced but to no avail.

    In Outlook, which similarly makes suggestions, one can use the arrow keys to move down to highlight the bad address and kill it with the delete key.

    It would be a bad miss if cannot remove improper addresses from suggestions list - these can accumulate fast.

    How to delete suggested email addresses in Windows 10 APP 2023

    There are tons of suggested email addresses that show up in a drop down menu when I am starting to type an email address into the "To:" field, when composing a new email, in Windows 10 app. They are not listed on my contacts. How can I delete these so that only the ones I use often show up? Redirecting.
    This thread is obsolete, and the steps DO NOT apply.

    When following step 1) you begin typing the email address to have the suggested emails pop up - and you cannot right click, select, open contact properties at all.

    When following step 2) This step is entirely ignorant of the fact that these "suggested" emails that pop up - are NOT in the contacts list.

    Can someone please explain how to remove this woefully annoying "Suggested" contact, with a current method, please?
