Microsoft Feedback Portal account is not working
I changed my Microsoft password a year ago, and it updated everywhere other than the Feedback Portal. As a result, I get an error when I try to login, or do anything on the page. Microsoft account support's suggestion was to login to the Feedback Portal which is insane given I'm having issues accessing it. How can I get this issue resolved? I've got three separate support tickets now and they keep asking me to wait 24 hours to get the issue resolved. Can someone from the Feedback Portal team please contact me to resolve this?" This is what Microsoft Support have said: "understand your frustration, and yes—this is an account‑related issue because the Feedback Portal is still tied to your old alias, which causes login conflicts and forces you out. Your Microsoft account itself signs in correctly, but the Feedback Portal is pulling outdated identity data that you cannot update on your own. Since you cannot access the Portal to submit feedback, directing you back there is not a workable solution. What you need is for Support to escalate this to the internal Identity/Feedback Platform engineering team so they can manually correct the outdated alias mapping on the backend. In this situation, the Feedback Portal and Tech Community teams are the ones who manage and maintain that specific platform. Because the issue appears on the Feedback Portal side—even though your Microsoft account is working normally—only their dedicated team can make the necessary corrections on their end. That’s why we are guiding you to connect with them through the links provided: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/ or https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback. They will be able to review the portal‑specific account data and assist you further. I understand why this is frustrating. Since you’re unable to stay signed in to the Feedback Portal, I completely see why posting there isn’t possible for you. However, I do need to be transparent: I’m not able to escalate this issue directly to the Feedback Portal team, as they don’t provide internal escalation channels for us and only accept requests through their own platform.

Hacked Live account
Hello, On of our customers accounts was hacked. This is a Live account linked to his own emailadres (not hotmail) from his Internet Provider. A few weeks ago someone gained access to this account. They changed the recovery email address and the phone number. The customer has a paid Office 36 family account, which is paid for with his MasterCard and he can provide the invoice from the last years.. We tried the account recovery Form multiple times, opened a case with CDOC Case Management. We simply got the reply that they could not do anything but to suspend the account. I Think this is crazy, is there no solution to this ? Thanks,Can't Login to Authenticator App
I am unable to login to my Microsoft 365 Business account, because I'm unable to login to my Authenticator App. I am also the only administrator on my business account, so no one in my organization can help me. Microsoft online support and phone support just keep sending me in circles. The only way I see to create a support ticket is to login, but my issue is that I can't login. Help, please!
My hotmail account is blocked by Microsoft
My Hotmail account has been blocked by Microsoft due to “unusual activity,” and I urgently need help. I’ve attempted recovery multiple times, but the phone verification system is not working and all my requests keep getting rejected with the reason "that information I provided was not sufficient enough". I also have an active Microsoft 365 subscription tied to this email, and I can no longer access any of my Office 365 services. This issue needs immediate resolution.Profile photo component adds unwanted overlay
Component https://myaccount.microsoft.com Run command: ms-settings:yourinfo Environment Profile picture uploaded through https://myaccount.microsoft.com Profile picture uploaded through Run command (WIN+R): ms-settings:yourinfo Retrieved via Microsoft Graph SDK / Graph REST API endpoint /v1.0/me/photos/$value Steps to Reproduce Go to https://myaccount.microsoft.com. Upload a new profile picture (no presence, badge, or branding requested). Retrieve the profile picture using Microsoft Graph endpoint: GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/photos/$value Render the image in the client application. Expected Result The raw profile photo is shown exactly as stored—no overlays, rings, badges, or branding. Actual Result The component renders an overlay (e.g., presence badge/ring/branding) on top of the photo, altering the image. Impact Users see altered profile photos, leading to inconsistencies with expectations. Breaks brand/UX design guidelines that rely on unmodified profile images. Severity Medium–High (affects identity consistency across apps using Graph). Notes This happens even though no overlay option was requested in either the upload or retrieval flow. Alternative: Steps to Reproduce and working as expected Run command (WIN+R): ms-settings:yourinfo Upload a new profile picture (no presence, badge, or branding requested). Retrieve the profile picture using Microsoft Graph endpoint: GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/photos/$value Render the image in the client application.

Old Microsoft Office 2010 (Unknown version) license
Hello everybody, I've been having an annoying activation problem with my old Microsoft Office 2010 license because of a number of reasons. In order to provide relevant details of my case, I've made a list of peculiar characteristics of this device and this Office 2010 license bought long ago and installed in a corporate CPU now under maintenance. Original Microsoft Office 2010 (Unknown version) license provided in a DVD case was bought in 2011 or 2012 for corporate purposes, purchase not performed by me. The software was originally installed in my corporate CPU, but the case with original intallation DVD was lost over the years after several administrative changes Serial product number was carefully kept by me in an anticipation of the possibility this DVD could be lost, which came true over the years. CPU is monitored in a corporate environment and has a specific Microsoft Windows 10 license unknown by me, which DOES NOT INCLUDE Microfost Office, though. This CPU is an Intel i3 with 16 Gb of RAM memory on a 64-based Windows 10 Home Single Language OS, version 22H2. Microsoft no longer provides support for Office versions older than 2013, therefore preventing me from finding a solution in Microsoft documentation and automated Microsoft Internet tutorials/assistants. I've risked downloading and installing a non-official Microsoft Office 2010 on this CPU from a third-party website with no relationship to Microsoft because of its absence from Microsoft official sources with good results. Activation fails continuously, though, even when I copy and paste the correct serial Microsoft Office 2010 serial number I have in my backups. I have a strong suspicion this has to do with the wrong software version (Home & Student X Pro), but I am not entirely sure of it. Product number error code is 0x8007232B My corporate environment does not provide Microsoft Office to all of its computers because of budgetary constraints and the availability of alternative freeware. Moreover, they are located in an institution completely separated from where I work, because the Windows 10 version I currently use is registered with the local regional Government under an institutional corporate e-mail completely apart from this centralized IT facility. This organization is called PRODESP (https://www.prodesp.sp.gov.br), which in turn is understaffed and deals with all kinds of issues, with a particular focus dedicated to financial issues, because of the countless employees the Government of Sao Paulo State (Brazil, South America) possesses accross the entire State. Recently I tried some alternative Office suites but neither option I tried had an advanced "Find and Replace" tool which only Microsoft Office has, which made me even more strongly attached to my user experience with Microsoft Office 2010 and this is why I would like to continue using it despite this license being now almost 15 years old, and its broad operational compatibility with the current Microsoft Office 365 version, particularly with regards to file formats, recorded MACROs and many other aspects not of interest and neither discussed here. An illustrative screenshot with my problem shown on it is provided below here too. Any help from whoever is able to help me solve this problem would be greatly appreciated, particularly if provided by a Microsoft representative. Thank you.Token replay question
I had a case of a user being phished and their token being used in a replay attack. The replay appeared in the sign in logs from a different IP address to the "true" users IP. I then saw activity on the account originating from the original IP until we killed the session a few hours later. I had someone suggest that in a token replay the M365 audit\activity logs and Entra ID signing logs will show the original persons IP, not the attackers. Can anyone confirm this?
Force additional MFA for PIN WH4B
so got a request from one of my clients and if you think about it, its on the verge of being valid but an edge case... Lets say you implement WH4B and leverage PIN, how do you prevent someone shoulder surfing and leveraging the PIN on that device if they take it? Or restrict pin patterns? (the patterns I am looking into) I know Fido2 is the best way along with biometrics...but they were wondering if there was a way to reprompt MS Auth App for a code after login/reboot... I couldnt find anything on this but I did find forcing a mfa device revalidation via graph api Any able to accomplish this with the entra joined device?
