Un-linking child accounts…?

09. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: extra security, Microsoft account

So when I made my Microsoft account I linked it to what was my main account, as a child account. I figured hey, extra security.

Unfortunately for me the 'child' account is now my primary account, but as the terms of service have recently updated it cannot do anything without permission from the adult account... which I have forgotten both the password and login of.

Is there any way for me to un-link the account?

Does Outlook have extra security measures if you don’t use a Window’s computer?

In a shopping mall, I tried to log onto my Outlook account in the Apple store, on an iPad Mini, and it said "You haven't logged on from this location recently". It required me to send a confirmation code to my secondary email address. I didn't do that, so I wasn't able to access my email. However, I ventured to the Microsoft store next door and was able to log in to Outlook smoothly with the HP ENVY TouchSmart 15. The "you haven't..." page did not show up at all, and I was able to see my email. I am wondering if the added security only happens when one doesn't use a Microsoft-made product. Thank you.

I sign on with password to the Hotmail account as is necessary with Windows 8. It then asks for extra security by means of a code which Microsoft say they will send to my email address. But there never is any response so there is no code.

This is frustrating because without this I cannot trust PC and synch.

How do I go about getting a code.

Thanks

Dear All,

I use an iPhone and wanted to add extra security to my hotmail (outlook) account.

I cannot find an "Authenticator App " in the App Store as suggested in the security settings.

Has anyone else found a solution please?

Thanks very much.

Change your settings to always use HTTPS….

Trying to use Hotmail with HTTPS?

As long as you're just reading and writing email, signing in with "https" gives you extra security.

But this extra security disappears if you check your calendar, edit a contact, or go to another site.

For the most secure connection, we strongly recommend that you change your settings to always use HTTPS.

I keep choosing this option and it keeps asking me most times I check my email. One step process is now a very annoying two step process, help!
