Can i recover a Microsoft account if I have forgotten which email address I used?

Chloe Marsden · Dec 26, 2023

My son has managed to sign out of his minecraft account and I can't remember which email address I used to set up the Microsoft account linked to it... I've tried all the email addresses I can think of but none of them are correct... I remember what name it said on the bottom left hand side of the minecraft menu screen if that helps? Thank you

:)

I can guide you with recovering the account, SuperFrancy but we need to know the Microsoft email address.

If you know the Microsoft email address you can try recovering it by visiting this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

If you've forgotten your sign-in information on Xbox, whether it's your password or email, you can still recover your account using the account recovery process. Here's how to do it:

If you've forgotten the email address associated with your Xbox account, try the following:
Check any alternate email addresses you might have used for account sign-up.
Look through your records for any confirmation emails or receipts related to your Xbox account.
If you have your Xbox console, check the account settings to see if your email address is listed there.

Recover Forgotten Password:

After recovering email, recover your password, follow these steps to reset it:
On the sign-in page, select "Forgot your password?"
Enter the email address associated with your Xbox account.
Complete the security challenge to verify your identity.
Follow the prompts to reset your password. You'll receive a verification code via email or phone to confirm your identity.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks and

If you have forgotten, I'm sorry but we need to locate at least the Microsoft email address so we can try to recover for you to use.
