    Lost my Microsoft account and Can’t access my steam game (Microsoft Flight simulator 2020)


    I have purchased Microsoft flight simulator 2020 last year and i didn’t play much, yesterday i went to my steam profile and re downloaded the game once the steam download has finished I have accessed the game and it asks me to verify my email address which I didn’t use since a very long time ago, (since i use to have an xbox 360 and one) so basically I don’t have access to my phone numbers anymore and there’s no other options except to go to the Microsoft website and ask for a recovery, I have failed the two first attempts and I received an email asking me to redo the check and try the best to guess the right answers but it’s been since 2012 or something when I first created my account. So I want to know what can I do to get access to Microsoft flight simulator and other games like Forza horizon is there something i can do in steam to remove the pop up sign in page in MFS ? Or other solutions maybe?

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    You're welcome, med saad.

    Here are my answers to your questions:

    1.) If you have bought the games from Microsoft Store or Xbox app or had Xbox Game Pass subscription; games, order history, and game progress will be inaccessible. However, to fully answer your question, if you mean you are trying to access the games (bought from Steam) using different Microsoft Account, that subjective to the terms and condition of Steam and it will be best to discuss it with them.

    2.) If you already had the license to play the game/s, I think it will not be necessary to re-buy it from Steam. But again, please contact support.

    Contact Steam Support: Steam Support (steampowered.com)

    We hope this helps and have a great day!

    Regards,

    Hello med saad,

    Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

    We understand that you are trying to access your Microsoft account that holds your license and game progress. Just to set your expectation, Microsoft account is managed by a completely automated server and we do not have manual access to it. Microsoft takes the security and privacy of our customers very seriously. We are committed to protecting your personal information, and the meticulous account recovery process is intended to protect you from any possible malicious activity. For now, let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

    May we ask if you can still recall the last time you signed in to your Microsoft Account? Was it more than 2 years already? There is a policy that was implemented last 2019 regarding Microsoft account activity, where accounts were keep active if it is being sign in at least once in a two-year period. However, there are exceptions and if not meet then account will be closed. For more info please read here: Microsoft account activity policy.

    If any cases, you have sign in to your account once in two-year period, you have option to recover it (click here) or reset password - (click here). Otherwise, you will create a new account.

    For Steam account, based on their log-in page: Sign In (steampowered.com) you will need to sign in using your account name and password or steam mobile app (Beta). This process might not include email address nor Microsoft account. But for Microsoft Flight Simulator, you will need to use a Microsoft account to log in to the game and see your game progress. However, if you cannot sign in to your previous account the game progress might not be accessible. If that is the case, you may contact support of Microsoft Flight Simulator for any concern.

    Overall, you can recover your account with filling out the form - click here or create new account.

    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.
