Windows 10: I can't sign in to MS account. Does not recognize my email.

I cannot sign into my MS account. Does not recognize my email address.

:)

 

Cannot sign in microsoft account.

My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6.

Any suggestion?

 

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.

 

My sign-in email is inextricably linked to the wrong account.

What you're experiencing is that the aol is your Windows device alias, which is separate from your Outlook acct which is for MS services but can also serve as your device id. If you bought a 2nd PC, at setup, you could add your Outlook email as the alias and the new PC would be added to your list of devices (see top tab in your post 5 screenshot). I have 6 devices listed which are mine and ones that I support for others. But if you tried to use the aol address, you'd go thru all the steps, all over, that you did with the first PC.

In the screenshot in post 5, is the 2nd blacked out box simply your name w/no email? Also, when you click 'Add email' under that, do you get this screen? and can you add your existing outlook address? (see post end)-

if you can, then go back and click 'remove' next to aol primary alias and you should be set. If not, take a hammer to this- go to Settings/Accounts/Your info/Manage my MS account which will open a web page like this-



is the @ under your picture in upper-L aol or outlook? Then go to Device list, click your computer, on next page under 'Manage' click remove computer. That should kill the aol alias once and for all. You should now be able to sign in with outlook address as primary alias for your PC, as the 2nd name w/o email indicates you set up a Local account at some point.
