MS account security

How do I speak directly on my landline telephone with a live MS tech support agent about my MS account?

Thank you.

Microsoft does not have tech support agents you can call for one-on-one support. Microsoft does not offer that service. If you want someone who'll work with you individually in person or on the phone you'll have to hire a professional technician. I am sorry if you were not aware of this earlier.

Microsoft hires a limited number of outside contractors for people who insist that they must talk with someone, but these are not Microsoft employees and Microsoft isn't responsible for what they tell you.

Microsoft Q&A tries to help with technical questions, so I suggest you ask your question here.

For a Microsoft account, direct phone access to a live support agent is not the primary support path. The supported path is to use Microsoft Support or Get Help, then request chat or a callback if that option is offered for the account, product, subscription, and region.

Steps:

Go to Contact a Microsoft support agent or Get Help on the web.
Sign in with the Microsoft account that needs help, if possible.
Enter a short description such as Microsoft account security or Chat with an agent.
Select Contact support.
Choose the relevant product and category.
If available, select request a call / Call me back or live chat.

For sign-in problems, start with the sign-in helper first: Start sign-in helper.

Important: support agents are not allowed to send password reset links or access and change account details.

If accessibility support is needed, the Microsoft Disability Answer Desk is available: Microsoft Disability Answer Desk.
