    Unknown device from France attempted to sign into my microsoft account, with MY email.


    While looking through the security tab I noticed a device from France using google chrome was trying to sign into my account but failed. Normally I would ignore it, but the account alias was coming from my gmail. I live in Australia and now I'm incredibly worried my google account has been compromised and it is refusing to tell me. I have already checked the devices connected to my google account and it is just my own devices connected, what is going on?

    Cannot sign in microsoft account.

    My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
    I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
    and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6. Unknown device from France attempted to sign into my microsoft account, with MY email. :(

    Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

    Hello Flemmingk, Unknown device from France attempted to sign into my microsoft account, with MY email. :)

    Could these other devices be from friends that you may have signed in to your Microsoft account on for something?

    Either way, you can remove these devices.

    Afterwards to be safe, I would recommend to change the password of your Microsoft account, and enable two-step verification if you haven't already.

    Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

    Thanks Brink
    I get different reactions every time I try to delete a device, but the result is that I cannot remove the devices.
    I'll go back to local accounts and delete the Microsoft account.
    I changed to Microsoft account because I wanted to use the Continue on PC feature. This feature doesn't work so I think that I'll just forget about it.
    Thanks for your interest.
