Windows 10: I need to remove an old work email from my windows account so I can reset my pin.

I no longer have access to the email, so I can't just delete it in the setting. So it won't let me reset my pin in Windows HelloI have a Surface Pro 7 and I'm running Microsoft Windows Windows 11 Home Version 24H2

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

Remove an old work account.

Hi Eric, I'm John D, and I am happy to help you with this.

I understand how frustrating it can be to keep receiving notifications to authenticate for Microsoft "Lists" with your old work account, especially since you left your previous company over a year ago.

Based on the information you have shared with me, it appears that your old work account is still linked to the Microsoft "Lists" app. In order to remove this account and stop receiving these notifications, you can try the following steps:

> Open the Microsoft "Lists" app on your laptop.

> Click on the profile icon on the top right-hand side of the screen.

> Select "Sign out" from the dropdown menu.

> If prompted, enter your old work account details and sign out.

> Once you have signed out, close the app and reopen it.

> Sign in to the app with your current Microsoft account linked to your family subscription.

By following these steps, you should be able to remove your old work account from the Microsoft "Lists" app and stop receiving notifications to authenticate with it.

I hope this solution helps you resolve the issue.

Best regards,

John D.
