  1. Reset Pin flow won't send code to my @live email and alternative email option is not showing


    I received an error on boot of my laptop running Windows 11 saying that it cannot find my pin and so I need to set it up again. However, once it says that it will send an email to my @live email, I do not receive any code. This is not my first time doing the reset pin steps. There used to be an option to send it to my alternative email, but now the option is gone. Now I cannot access my laptop until I reset the pin, which I cannot do because it won't send a code to my email.

    :)

  3. Hacker Keeps resetting my Live email password.

    I think he is trying hard to get to my Steam account again. Like I added in my first post I had a password reset for steam email.

    And last time he did it I had several password reset emails in my live before (I suppose) he got it to work.

    Now I don't even feel like my gmail is safe. I have it set up for Phone SMS and 2 step verification. Although I think he is having a hard time with my gmail.

    HOW IS HE DOING IT!

    Hacker Keeps resetting my Live email password.

    I don't know how this guy is managing it but he keeps resetting my password in live.

    I had a backup email trough gmail and he changed that too

    so then my gmail had a back email to aol and so I reset my gmail then I was able to reset my live.

    Next morning he reset my live again! I manged to get it back by using gmail again to reset it which oddly enough he didn't reset my gmail password this time.

    I have now since used a an extremmmmmleeey long password generated at random for live to see if that keeps him out.

    The scary thing is I have a totally unrelated other gmail account. Guess what I find in the deleted folder of my live account. A reset password email for my STEAM CONFIRMED TOTALLY UNRELATED TO OTHER EMAILS EMAIL ACCOUNT! It was all in dutch too with link (I didn't click on the links though). How did he figure that one out? Thankfully my secure steam gmail account hasn't had its password reseted yet.

    How is this guy doing this? My password were strong. I suppose i'll see if he gets in now with this new pass.

    Keep in mind this is a fresh reformat and my Firewall from my router is on.

    I've done scans anyway and everything is clean.

    EDIT: I'd also like to add I had a password reset email from steam in my gmail account. But I did not have my password reset for either my gmail or steam.
