  1. New ISP, cannot change account settings because I cannot get verification emails.


    I keep getting “account problem” messages on my PC from MS. I can log into my PC, but I cannot change or verify my account settings with MS because my ISP has changed and I no longer get emails that are needed to verify the changes. Is this something I can fix or do I need to call MS and talk to a human? I cannot change the email because it wants to send verifications to the old address first. Catch 22.

    :)

  2. email account hacked. please help

    Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

    Gmail
    Outlook

    The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

    I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!
