    How do I merge two sign-ins with the same email address?


    I somehow have the email address that I normally use with Microsoft websites listed twice. Once as a job/school account and once as a personal account.The job/school version is insisting on connecting to the authentication app. I go through the process and get stopped when it asks me to scan a QR code with the authentication app which doesn't have a way to access the camera. I would like to merge the two as a single Microsoft account. Assuming I can find a way to get into the job/school account how do I merge them for Microsoft websites.

    :)

  3. 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
