Hi,
I cannot access my Microsoft 365 account anymore.
I think my account has been hacked because when I try recovering the password, the email displayed is apparently from a Czech Republic domain (.cz). However, I have never had any .cz email.
I would like to please help me recover my Microsoft account access, so that I can get back to using it.
Thank you for your support.
Kind regards
Umberto

    If you are trying to recover, to regain access to a Microsoft account or an email account, Support Agents are rarely able to help.

    <Reposted>

    Microsoft Support contacted via phone or chat won't be able to help you with this.

    In this article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/contacting-support-for-a-microsoft-account-bb65aa6a-9135-31df-0b36-d6318d6f4e0f 

    is the warning that

    "Important:****To protect your account and its contents, our support agents and advocates are not allowed to send password reset links or access and change account details."

    Please tell me/us what problem you are trying to resolve.

    like when I was hacked over 8 times in 5 months - AT LEAST!

    thanks, but two step doesnt work....considering American's are being hacked from central and south america, and vise versa. Maybe fix your security pathces that come in about 10 times a day! I have reinstalled my OS 4 times in one month!

    Microsoft can't make your accounts more secure. You will have to.

    Also, DON, it says that passwordless with MS Authenticator is the safest route... so is it two step or authenticator without a password???

    I don't know which is safer. I don't use the Authenticator app. I prefer two step verification with a strong password. That way, if my phone is unavailable, I can have a code sent to an alternate email account.
