Someone changed my email but i still have access to my account

You can try to act in this order as quickly as possible; time is a big factor in such situations.

If:

• Your password still works
• You can still sign in
• But a new email address (from Russia) was added or set as primary

Then:

• The attacker likely added an alias or changed the primary alias
• They may be waiting before locking you out

You are in a time window where you can still secure the account.

DO THIS NOW (in order, don’t skip steps)

Secure the account immediately

Go to:
https://account.microsoft.com/security

• Change your password (use a new, strong one)
• Choose Sign me out everywhere
• Turn on Two-Step Verification (Authenticator app preferred)

Do this even if the password “wasn’t changed”.

Remove the attacker’s email / alias

Go to:
Your info → Manage how you sign in to Microsoft

• Identify the Russian email
• Remove it
• Make sure YOUR email is:
• Verified
• Set as Primary alias

If Microsoft asks you to confirm → do it immediately.

Change password on EVERYTHING ELSE

If this Microsoft account was used for:

• Email
• Gaming
• Pay Pal
• Other logins

Change those passwords too.
Assume the old password is compromised.

If the recovery form is locked due to too many attempts:

• Do NOT keep retrying
• It resets automatically after time (usually 24–48 hours)

But since you still have access, manual recovery is NOT your primary path right now.

If Microsoft blocks alias removal

If you cannot remove the attacker’s email:

1. Go to
https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing

2. Choose:

• Account & profile
• Compromised account

3. Request chat or call support

4. Say clearly:

“An attacker added a new alias to my Microsoft account.
I still have access and need the alias removed immediately.”

This gets routed differently than normal recovery.

Bottom line

You are not locked out yet

This is a known Microsoft account takeover pattern

Acting now can fully secure the account

Waiting increases the risk dramatically
