    How do you use your recovery key to recover an email account or old Microsoft Account?


    How do you use your recovery key to recover an email password or account password when the pop-up says it has 25 characters and the recovery key has more than that?

    :)

    email account hacked. please help

    I have a yahoo email account that seems to be hacked. Following are hacking activities I have noticed.

    1) Spam emails being sent from my account to my account and my recovery email account.
    2) Recent emails in inbox are missing
    3) New emails in deleted mails folder

    I have reset passwords for both my email account and recovery email account and also re-installed my mac but still spam emails are being sent from my account to my account and my recovery email account.

    My mac was not even turned on when those emails were being sent. No one else knows my password. I do access mail from my iphone and ipad too.

    Its my primary email account please help.

    Thanks

    How do you use your recovery key to recover an email account or old Microsoft Account?

    Microsoft Account Recovery

    It seems every time I have to go some place requiring my Microsoft Account, I have to verify and then wait for what seems like forever. Here are the steps I use to recover my account and the issues I am having problems with:

    After entering my user name and password, I get a window for Verifying:

    Here I click on "Verify" and get a new window.

    I selected "I don't have these any more" and get the next page.

    How do you use your recovery key to recover an email account or old Microsoft Account? 249182d1569682108t-microsoft-account-recovery-mssignin3.jpg

    The top email was correct so I entered a contact email and the next step is where I get stuck.
    I would have entered "RVkWp SKY3S" Note the caps and small letters.
    After clicking next I get a red note saying it was not entered correctly. I must have tried this 20 times and it always indicates it was entered incorrectly.

    I sure could use some advice.

    Thank you.
