    Locked out of account due to 2FA


    I have lost my phone so I do not have access to the mobile number and email address associated with the account and with 2FA set up I cannot access an.

    Microsoft customer service is essentially non existent, website just refers me to "help" guides which take me in circles.

    I need help to get back in, I can provide account details etc, if this can't be resolved I expect a full refund for the 350+ games I have purchased over the last 15 years.

    :)

    My account was blocked permanently without much reason

    When an account it's locked or blocked, if the account has 2fa active, they can't unblock/unlock, as they can't access the account, but if you manage to get access and then you use the 2fa with your data, anyone else will be able to access it

    Unable to unlock accounts.

    Hi Mate,

    As all the Microsoft accounts are generally linked, could there be something else that is constantly trying to sign into that account with an incorrect password? Like email polling from a phone or mobile device which in turn will lock the account due to
    too many incorrect account given it sounds like you have 2FA turned on. Left logged in but with an incorrect account.

    I am not a robot and I am very sorry for your experience.

    I understand that it is frustrating to lose access to your account, especially if you have done everything you can to protect it and try to recover it, but if you want the best thing I can do for you is to release the question so that another expert or community member can give you a better answer. aid.
