    Microsoft keeps prompting to sign in with old email address


    I changed my email address about a year or so ago. Now Microsoft pops up daily saying there is an issue that must be fixed. It is showing my old email address.

    I signed in with my current email address on here to ask the question. How can I get my old email address off?

    When it asks to verify my info using alternate email I answer all the questions correctly and still get reply saying I did not. I know I did! I've tried multiple times. HELP

    :)

  2. Delete old email sign in address

    Hi,

    Difficulties verifying the old security details in your Microsoft account may result in errors canceling or removing the profile. For us to rectify the account removal concern, we'd like to verify the following information:

    • Where exactly are you prompted to sign in with the old email address?
    • Have you tried resetting the password for the old account to recover it?
    • Were you able to log in successfully on your account online?
    • Have you made any significant changes to your account prior to this happening?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?

    Your reply is highly appreciated.

  3. Old email address keeps popping up

    I thought "Janine T." had solved my problem, but not. Every so often, I get a window saying not all my Microsoft accounts are logged in. So I follow the prompts to "Fix" the problem, and I,m asked to sign in with my Microsoft password, the one associated
    with my OLD email address. I have gone to the web page for Microsoft accounds and deleted the old email address, but it keeps re-emerging. I can't change the password to solve the problem, because it's the email address that's wrong. I emptied my cache of
    web pages, and that didn't help. I even have a screen shot showing the NEW email adress on the web page and the request for a password for the OLD email address.

  4. Microsoft keeps prompting to sign in with old email address

    Auto Suggest - Old email addresses

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern. There is, however, no setting in Mail app to disable the auto-complete setting, you can certainly accomplish this in Outlook web app on your system. Refer to the following steps to do so:

    • Sign in to Outlook Web App, and in the To, Cc, or
      Bcc lines, start typing part of the name you want to remove from the Auto-Complete List. For information about how to sign in to Outlook Web App, see

      Sign in to Outlook Web App
      .

    • If the entry you want to remove is highlighted, choose Delete. If the entry you want to delete is not selected, use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow to navigate to the entry you want to delete, and then choose
      Delete.

    For more information, please refer to the following article:

    Remove suggested name or email address
    from the Auto-Complete List in Outlook Web App


    Hope this information is helpful. Do let us know if you need any further assistance, we will be glad to assist you.
