  1. I can't connect to my MS account from my desktop, it ask me to identify an unknown email...


    Hi,I'm trying to connect my MS account to my desktop computer.I entered my phone number the one linked to the account I'm writing this message with, the only one I have. Fine.Then I'm asked to "Confirm my identity" by entering a gmail adress that isn't the right one. See attached screenshot. The email adress linked to my account and phone number starts with "Ni", not "do". I never had an email adress starting with "do" and there is only one email adress linked to this account the one starting with "ni".There is no option other than "Confirm my identity" with this false information that I d

    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.

    outlook account config

    SO today my friend asked me if i could post this question on the forum:



    He wants to configure a outlook account with 1 email, with that outlook account he wants to run the same account in 2 diferent computers he wants the both computer to be connected in network, for example:



    • he receives a email and that email is sent to each computer;
    • he deletes a email from one computer and it also deletes on the other;
    • he moves a email to a folder it also moves on the other computer;
    If you guys can help me would be nice!

    unknown account

    Hi
    I have noticed on all Documents/videos/photos in properties/security there is an unknown account as per screenshot. If I try to delete it ,I then get a message splash as per second screenshot.
    Is there a way to identify this "unknown account" and delete it.
    I investigated registry profile image path and it lists this account as myself-strange? Thanks

    I am using W10 21H1 Build19043
