10 TopicsCan't sign in to microsoft account
I'm locked out of my microsoft account simply because I don't have access to the Authenticator App. I recently performed a factory reset on my phone with the Authenticator App on and now I can't sign in to my account. I have tried the self help forums and I got a response email saying: "It looks like you just used the Microsoft account recovery form (account.live.com) to request a password reset for e**************email address removed for privacy reasons. Because you've turned on two-step verification for your account, we ignore these requests but wanted to let you know. If you're having trouble signing in, go to (account.live.com/ResetPassword) and reset your password using security info such as your phone, alternate email address, or authenticator app." It won't let me use my phone number when I select it as a sign in option. I have tried the recovery forms to no avail.57Views0likes1CommentHacked please help
My Microsoft account was hacked today. The attacker changed my sign-in alias to a random Outlook address, removed my phone number, added their own Authenticator app, and changed the recovery email. My original email now says the Microsoft account doesn’t exist. I have the Microsoft security emails proving the changes. I also have other forms of proof. If there is any moderator or anyone who can help me recover my account I had some important stuff on there I would like to get back. It wasn't this email but another one I made this so I can ask for help. When I tried to recover the email they changed it as provided in the screenshots down below. I tried to call support and fill out recovery stuff but since they changed the email for the account there is not much I can do.269Views0likes2CommentsCentral Forms repository
Hi, I want to create forms to be used company wide. We have locked Forms licensing down so that all staff cannot create forms, we want all data to be stored centrally and this way we know where all data is. If I create a Form, it creates it under my account. I if leave the organisation, this may be lost. What is the best way to create corporately used forms centrally?, i.e. not under an individual user account Thank you for your time, OllieSolved175Views0likes1CommentLock down Form creation for staff
Hi, I want some staff being able to create forms/surveys etc. https://forms.microsoft.com/ I want to ensure that the rest of the staff can consume the forms ,i.e. fill in, but not create new or "Collaborate or Duplicate". What is the best way for me to do this? Thank you for your time, OllieSolved501Views0likes1CommentMs Form - "Anyone can respond" Not working anymore
Hello, I have a Microsoft form set to "Anyone can respond" that I shared with external members of my organization, and the link was perfectly functional until now for anyone having the link. Since the end of the week 07/24/19, this form is no longer accessible without logging in (when testing with the link in private browsing, I am redirected to the login page) and it is also not accessible while loged to a Microsoft account external to my organization. Has anyone else encountered this problem or is it a residual impact of the global bug related to the latest Microsoft update? Do you know how to report this bug if necessary? Thanks in advance.1.7KViews0likes5CommentsWindows Hello Pin
So I was trying to sign into Minecraft using my Microsoft account on my sisters laptop, but I came across an issue. It asked me for Windows Hello. I never even heard of Windows Hello until now. I decided to set it up for now but now I had another issue. It asked me to enter my pin. I never used Windows Hello before so it didn't even make sense. I followed the steps to reset it until I had ANOTHER issue. Since this is my sisters laptop I can't go into sign-in option to reset the PIN since she used her account to set up this laptop, so it showed all her information. I went to e-mails and accounts and saw mine, but I couldn't change it through there either. I went to the website to reset it in my account settings, but it asked me for the same nonexistent pin. I can't sign into Microsoft store or anything. PLEASE HELP1KViews0likes2CommentsMicrosoft Forms and PII (Personally Identifiable Information)
Is a survey developed in Microsoft Forms able to be configured such that a small amount of PII (Personally Identifiable Information) can be securely stored on a Teams folder in Sharepoint, with only the relevant team members able to access responses data?6.5KViews0likes1Comment
