Hi Claus,

If you believe it to be hacked, I would recommend changing your password and enabling 2FA:

Change Password

Enable 2FA

If you cannot login I would recommend using the account recovery form:

My ******@hotmail.com email was hacked on fb on 4.01.2024 and it is not possible to change the password on FB because the code is redirected to not my e-mail ******@hotmail.com. Is it possible to block a redirect? Please note that your email address has ******@hotmail.com just been added to your Facebook account.

My account was hacked on 21 January 2024. Amex called me and found unusual google payment unauthorised transactions and my Facebook account was hacked as a result of my hotmail account being hacked.

I have changed microsoft password. But saw unusual activity from the safety check microsoft provided .

My family and I live in Brisbane and I only use my devices (mainly iPhone +61 401134563) to access hotmail through outlook app. Other activities apart from my devices and out of Brisbane are highly suspicious meaning hacked.
