Can you only submit a recovery form once

Hi Evan,

If you’re referring to the account recovery form, then the only limit is up to 2 times per day. Apart from this, there’s currently no limit as to how many times you can try the form.

Keep in mind that you unfortunately can’t recover an account this way if 2FA (Two-Factor authentication/Two-step verification) is enabled on the account.

As per the Microsoft account activity policy, inactive accounts are automatically deleted after 2 years (with some possible exceptions) and can’t be recovered once deleted.

Refer to:

Help with the Microsoft account recovery form | Microsoft Support

You may also want to read through these guides with additional advice when completing the form:

Hope this helps.

Just a friendly reminder though that for recovery concerns there is a dedicated team and they are the recovery team that can only be reached by submitting a recovery form.

Once we found the Microsoft email address we can then proceed with recovering the account, Jr by submitting a recovery form.

No one can tell the email.
You need to start trying the recovery form until it gets accepted

If you can't submit the recovery form, nothing else can be done

You can submit the recovery form up to 2 times per day
