Windows 10: Really need advice on uniquely compromised account.

I received an email from Microsoft that the account associated my email address *** Email address is removed for privacy *** had been compromised because of password changes etc. Unfortunately since this wasn't my main account I used different variations of my name and Birthday etc so when filling out the info for the account recovery the automated system will not approve me.


What I would normally do with any other provider is just reset the password through the original email address *** Email address is removed for privacy *** or prove I still have control of that email, which I do. But for some reason the account recovery process is assuming that my original email address is compromised and is forcing me to use a secondary email account.


It is just crazy that I am sitting here with full access to the primary email for the account but no processes I can find for account recovery include any correspondence with it.


Can anyone shed any light on how to remedy this? It is an older account but an important one because I think it is the one I used to set up Windows 10 on my laptop and I don't know how much this might compromises any of the info on my laptop.

App store and Microsoft account

Thank you for the advice

I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

 

is our voice really *unique??

Recently there are a lot of emails from my bank suggesting me to click to
upgrade my phone banking security by providing them my voice, then
the next time my voice can be used to access my phone banking service
more quickly. The emails are really from my bank.

I'd like to know if our voice is really unique and can act as fingerprint?
Can't two people in the world have the same voice? What is the parameter
of our voice that makes us unique? Frequency ? Or is it only an "improved" security to avoid fraud only, instead of bullet proof

 

Remove account


I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
