    Someone is trying to steal my account


    Hello all, I'm on a windows 11 system and someone is trying to steal my microsoft account. It started in 2021 when they stole my xbox live account with the screen name MEGGER. They had stolen my Earthlink account that I never used and now I don't have a secondary email. When I try to change my password they change it again immediately. I don't have outlook but there is one listed under my recovery options. I can't delete it because you can't leave that field blank. I cancelled my earthlink account and I have two factor set up but I can't shake them. Please help.*Moved from feedback.

    :)

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

  4. Someone is trying to steal my account

    Trying to switch to Microsoft account from local, unable to...

    I tried that, more than once. I go thru the complete procedure of getting a new Microsoft account password, then when I reach the final step to key in the Windows password, I try my NEW Microsoft account password, and I get the same message-invalid password. No luck.

    Any other suggestions.
