  • Unable to link Skype and Microsoft accounts

    I am really confused here.  I haev tried this on Windows, Mac and iOS no matter what I do cannot link my current/old SKype ID with my longtime Microsoft account.  I've followed the KBs poste don this site and I am missing the step where I am offered to link my Microsoft account with my Skype one.  E.g I will reference the iOS guide :
    Logout of existing Skype ID
    Choose login with other account
    Choose Micrsoft account
    Login with Microsoft account
    Choose option for "Already using Skype?" <-- This option does not exist for me on any platform
    Not sure why this refuses to work - has anyone else seen this?  I had thought initially my Microsoft account TFA (two-factor auth) was throwing this off, and so disabled TFA but still got the same issue.
    Then I thoguth that by using one of my aliases for my microsoft account it was not working properly, so I tried the explicit alias I have <username>@outlook.com but that did the same thing.

    Ok, I got through the process... of getting back to Skype Community after merging, which is not as easy as it seems. Beware of that! When you merge your accounts, you won't be able to get back to your Skype Community profile due to the merging process that somewhat deletes your "standalone" Skype profile. Your Skype community profile is account-based, not info-based. So even if you will still be using the same Skype name and the same e-mail address, you won't be able to login to your Skype community profile if you created it using your Skype-only account refering to the same e-mail address has your MS one. You will need to create a new Skype community nickname using a completely different e-mail address (like a Gmail or another hotmail, outlook,... that you own). But, doesn't matter if you don't plan to come back to the Skype community, everything else will be fine.
    Here's the real stuff! Here are the steps to merge your Skype account with your Microsoft account even if you don't get the prompt asking if you already own a Skype account when logging in with your Microsoft account.
    0. Make sure to log out on any Skype app that could still be connected to the service with either of your accounts
    1. Go to Skype website and login using your Microsoft account
    2. Once on your personal profile page, select "Account Settings" at the bottom of the page
    3. Beside your Microsoft account that is listed on the page, click on "Unlink" and complete deletion process of this "ghost profile" (shouldn't be any contacts saved on this profile if you didn't add any contacts in Skype with your Microsoft account)
    4. Go back to any Skype desktop or mobile app, login using the "Sign in with a Microsoft Account" option
    5. Then, you should be asked again if you own a Skype account, click "Yes", then enter your Skype login information to proceed with the merge.

  • Can't merge both my Skype and Microsoft messenger ...

    Hello,
    I have 2 accounts (skype and Microsoft).  While following the "how to", I log into Skype using my Microsoft user ID, sign in without issues, it then prompts me if I have a skype account, which I type in, it recognizes it and accepts it, then asks to merge both accounts... I select merge, it then defaults back to the login screen with the Skype user ID instead with "! Sorry, something went wrong.  Please try again later".
    What am I doing wrong?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hey,
    Could you tell me the way to merge by Skype account with hotmail via skype profile website option which you mentioned. 
    I am also displayed with "Somethng went wrong" , when i try to merge by logging in with the skype application

  • Privacy in linked Skype and Hotmail/Messenger/Outl...

    An ex boyfriend managed to get access to my Hotmail account and he has seen  my skype conversations, but I do not know how far back in history he could access.
    There was no option to delete skype history within the Hotmail account I had tried many times to get rid of them in the Hotmail reading pane.
    I have now managed to unlink the two which has removed it.  I have also been into skype and removed the link.
    Within the skype platform,it was set it to never save history and to be doubly safe I always  manually deleted history.  However it kept appearing in hotmail messenger reading pane.
    I have two questions that I hope someone can help me with:
    1. If he got access to my hotmail again can he switch on the link between skype and messenger and therfore gain access into my skype history
    2.  Please could someone out there check their own linked account in hotmail/outlook  and tell me how long the skype history goes back for.  is it months or years?  I unlinked them in haste and now I cant tell the extent of the situation
    Many thanks I look forward to hearing from you

    Hello,
    Sorry to hear that - such type of situations are not nice.
    I have linked my accounts; but the chat history is all the time only with skype - meaning - it is not enabled in Outlook - http://community.skype.com/t5/Live-Messenger/How-to-access-chat-history/td-p/1358453
    Just to make sure - I would suggest to really and check your other accounts and ensure that you change your password (and choose a good password) - the whole idea is that access to your information should be accessible to you AND only you
    Cheers
    Jo

  • I am having trouble with my skype and Microsoft ac...

    I signed in with MS account. I tried to change my registered mail in profile settings, it aked my password. I tried using MS account password and it said wrong password. I forgot my skype password and i tried to recover it in another browser but it took me to MS account password resetting page, I changed the password. But again when I tried to change my registered mail in profile settings same thing happened showing password is wrong. And I also forgot my Skype name because I always use skype with MS account, when I tried to recover it, it is taking me again to MS passwod resseting page. So how can I change my primary e-mail address?

    I am having the exact same issue. I am unable to login using Skype username and password, but it lets me sign in with microsoft account. Once I am signed in and trying to change profile settings (new email address), it asks me for my Skype password ("for security purposes") and it keeps saying I am not entering the correct password, then locks me out temporarily. If I choose "Forgot Password", it takes me to a prompt to change my microsoft account password. When I change, Skype account still does not recognize. Please help!

  • Merge skype and microsoft accounts, forgot skype p...

    Hello, At the moment I seem to have two accounts, a skype account and a microsoft account, which was created when I tried to recover my skype password. When I enter the email address I used for skype, I'm now directed to the microsoft account password recovery, for which I do know the password. My contacts now see two accounts: a "firstlastnbr" and a "live:first.last". And my microsoft account has no contacts... Please advise, thanks ! Spiffo

    would I have to use my Skype/Microsoft login, or can I use either?
    You can login into Skype using your Skype details or your Microsoft details.
    would my username change to my Microsoft account name?
    No.
    or would it be prefixed with 'live:'?
    No.

  • Problems about linking the skype and the microsoft

    My skype account cannot link to the microsoft account(Before this, I already unlinked the original skype and microsoft) . When I logon the skype with my microsoft account, I found that there is an another skype account and this account is useless for me. Now I just want to delete the useless skype account of the microsoft and then link the original skype to the microsoft. What do I do to relink those accounts?

    The sequence you should be using is:
    1) start the listener, which will monitor the network for database requests
    lsnrctl start
    2) start and open the database, which will also register back to the listener. Could be done by a properly configured OEM DBConsole, or command line
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    startup
    exit
    3) If database started before listener, then you could register the database manually
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    alter system register;
    exit
    4) Verify that the listener knows about the database and will handle requests for the database
    lsnrctl status
    and check the output whether the database service is recognized.

  • Kindle Fire and Microsoft Live Account

    Hello magnificent skypers,
    I installed/set up Skype with my Microsoft account. Everything is working fine on my PC as I use the "login in with a microsoft account" option. But this option doesn't appear to be available in the Kindle version of Skype. I haven't set up a Skype account directly and when I try to "unlink" my microsoft account in my profile, the option tells me I need to contact support. I assume I need to have a skype account? If so how do I tie this up with my subscription.. Thanks

    Hi, Leigh3ann, and welcome to the Community,
    Please try this:

    Download the Skype for Windows Desktop version of the software, where you will be able to sign on to Skype using your Skype account.  The Skype "Modern" version permits a log-in only using a Microsoft account.
    Kind regards,
