Call it overzealousness Inaccessible account

Hello,

To access your account, you can follow this procedure:

On the page "Call it overzealous", click on the arrow (after the question "Where can we send you...") to select the option "I don't have them anymore" or "I can't verify my account", then click Next.

You will arrive at the page "You can continue to use your account normally". At the top right of the page, you will see your name and your avatar. Click on it, and select "Account settings".

Once on the new page, click again on your avatar at the top right, and select "Edit profile".

On this new page, click on the "Profile" arrow at the top left, and choose "Outlook".

There you go, hoping this helps some people ;)

Thank you for this quick response Xileh
I will give it a try

Hello Xileh
Yes, the link works but having clicked on 'send me a code'
I'm stuck for a month without being able to change
the security info!
They replied telling me that I don't have to click
on the link but too late so I still have to wait until
August 10. Ugh
this is getting boring! Already, they changed to Outlook without asking for our
opinion when it was working well with Hotmail
Anyway, they do what they want and in my opinion just to annoy people rather than improving things that need to be, especially when you read an email and the page refreshes by itself and goes back to the inbox and returns to the message
Just stuff like that...

Yes, Vista doesn't have as many problems as XP
but you need to disable quite a few unnecessary services
because it requires a lot of memory and processor resources
Finally, for the mailbox, besides the ads, I don't see what they gain from it
All I see is that the more it goes, the worse it gets!
Instead of everything working better, it's getting less and less good
They would do better to copy the way Google does it, which also makes
profits while everything is free...
No, what I don't like is their way of imposing everything and with their monopoly, people have no other choice
I also used Hotmail from the beginning and it worked well
it's since they switched to Outlook that things have gone downhill

Hello Xi
No, anyway, we can't "fire" him
The first time they did it, I can't remember exactly when, 2010
or around that date, we could go back to Hotmail, but since
their new version, there's not even the option to "go back to Hotmail"
So we should still be able to choose
That's what I hate about Microsoft, they do whatever they want without asking for feedback from the customers they rely on
It's like their Windobe, look at what they did. There was Windows NT that worked well, they made XP the worst! then Vista (or Merda if you prefer) Then they finally made Windows 7, which was good, only to change to 8
You see the trick? once good, once bad...
So people get so fed up that they opt for the new version
It's just business aimed at making customers pay, that's all
because besides, their crap is expensive!
While there's Linux, free, but the downside is that software is mainly designed for Windobe
I'll let you be the judge

Hello Damien
And thank you for your reply
I did what you said but when clicking on "Account Settings"
I keep getting a blank page and nothing else
(With Firefox) and with Google Chrome it works
I modified the profile and I was able to "Add another phone number"
In any case, thank you for your help
I don't understand why we can't change the security information in the Outlook Options
but we can in the profile! Well, we can enter it
but when they ask where to send the code, it doesn't appear in the list
Another stupidity from Microsoft?!
Anyway, I still have until August 10 to use it before they ask me for another code...
I'm going to do like Xileh (move on)
The most annoying thing is that I have to contact all the organizations, sites, forums, and friends I changed (in over 10 years it's going to be a piece of cake!

Thank you Damienj! It works perfectly :-)

Good evening everyone
It's back
I followed DamienJ's method, but at the last phase, a message appeared
"connection impossible, your browser might be refusing cookies, etc., etc....
So I opened Safari and went to Outlook, followed DamienJ's procedure and there
miracle, my email opened
Thanks again and see you all later---Philippe

Hello Phill
Yes, but right now you have a browser problem
Not a Hotmail Outlook account issue
You need to check your Firefox browser
In Tools, then Options, then in the "Privacy" tab
And in my opinion, in the middle where you have written History
It should be set to "Use custom settings for history"
And there you check if the "accept cookies" box is checked
And in principle, you should be able to log in with Firefox

I agree, what is this number that doesn't exist
I can no longer access my Hotmail inbox
I'm fed up with this internet
If this continues, I'm going to cut everything off
Can someone help me????????????

Luck 06

To change the password
it's always the same message that appears
"Help us protect your account"
but without being able to change it...
Microsoft has really become crap!
And as Kata7 says, it just goes in circles
Honestly, I've had enough!
