Hi,
your Microsoft account (MSA) works as a your Skype account. Or rather: Your MSA is your Skype account So just make sure you click "Microsoft account" on the blue Skype sign in page and then enter your email and MSA password to sign in to Skype.
When you want to recover the password for this MSA you indeed need to take the recovery flow for your MSA and not a Skype one.

in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it

IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

Sorry, we didn't recognize your sign in details HE...

Hello. I am using Skype since its launch and yesterday started showing this message everytime I try to log in. I tried logging in on the Skype website but that didn't work aswell. I have Avast! antivirus. I created another account to keep in touch with my friends and this one worked when I tried to enter the password and the login. Need help! I have a Windows 7 32 bits. My skype account is not linked with my Microsoft account, I tried "linking" them together but it happens the same message. In the Skype website, the message it shows is: "The connection has failed".

Please solve this problem !

Sorry, we didn't recognize your sign-in details

Hello! I have a microsoft account. To be honest, not sure whether I had a skype account too with this microsoft account. When I try to sign in to skype desktop, I get the error message "Sorry, we didn't recognize your sign-in details". I can sign in fairly using microsoft account on the www.skype.com website but not on desktop client. I am using windows xp sp3. Also when I try to recover password or username for skype, it only gives one of the microsoft account and prompt me to reset microsoft password if I try to reset password. Please help me out. I have tried reinstalling skype and reinstalling. I can sign in other skype accounts here. Those are not microsoft account but skype accounts.

Recently like a day ago, I was in a skype call with a couple of friends. Then I was in there for about 1 minute after that it kicked me out of the call and kicked me out of my account saying Sorry, we didn't recognize your sign-in details,Please check your skype name and password,then try again. when I tried to get in. I need help. I have let Skype support remote access my computer to remove skype and to reinstall it for me, Still not working. Help please. If someone knows a fix please let me know. -FroggyRecks

Try to reset all Skype settings. Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old. Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder. Restart Skype. N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Skype didn't recognize your sign in details (Macbook Air) help please

My Skype is not working since a week now. When i tried to log on to Skype from my Macbook Air (Mid 2011) it says "Skype didn't recognize your sign in details please check your Skype name and password then try again". I have done the following steps but issue still persist
Operating System: Mevericks 10.9.4
Step No:1
I deleted the shared.xml file from library
Reinstalled Mevericks then formatted my Harddrive and downgraded to Mountain lion X
Issue is still there and I am hopeless because I have contacted the Skype support and searched the google for help, read different blogs but I haven't found any Solution.
Is there any one who can help me please?
Looking forward

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)
While I'm doubtful this will fix your problems, you need to update.
OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo) 831.81 MB
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1676
Log into the Skype Web site. http://www.skype.com
Click on the Sign in link.
It's possible you will need to reset your password.
Also verify that you are running the latest version (6.19.0.442) of Skype. http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/

Working on Lion, trying to share photos via email, error message: "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". Regular email works fine, don't know how to fix this.

Having trouble with sharing photos via email on my desktop Imac. Error Message when I try to send: "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination. Normal email inbox/outbox works fine, error message only comes up when using "Sharing photos".
Not sure how to fix this, please help.

Are you trying to email directly from iPhoto? If so, check iPhoto>Preferences>Accounts tab and make sure your details are entered correctly there.

The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination.

OS: OS X Mavericks
iPhoto: iPhoto v9.5.1 (902.17)
I choose a photo, select Share, select Email, enter an email address to send to and click Send - then I get this error: "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination."
In iPhoto preferences I have "Email photos using" set to "iPhoto"; I have an account added for Gmail (outgoing mail server: smtp.gmail.com; Port: 587; User Name and Password are correct for my gmail account, Use SSL is checked - basically everything is default for when I chose to add a gmail account and I'm positive my user name and password are entered correctly). I do not have 2-step verification enable for my gmail account (I've been searching for a solution online and noticed others mentioned this - this does not apply to my situation).
Please help! What is going on? I just want to send an email from iPhoto using my gmail account.
Thanks!

Thanks again for responding, MrHoffman; my responses to your questions are below in italics:
Have you tested the Gmail account via Apple Mail.app, and does both sending and receiving work?
Yes, I have tested the Gmail account via the Apple Mail.app - sending and receiving work just fine.
Have you confirmed that the Gmail user and password work with the Gmail web interface?
Yes, I am sure it is the correct username and password; I am able to access the Gmail account via the Gmail web interface.
Are you aware of and familiar with both sets of credentials present within each account within Mail.app? In particular, have you gotten to the configuration displays the SMTP server settings? (Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) > select Edit SMTP Server List > select the SMTP server account > edit the SMTP server settings.)
I'm not sure what you mean by both sets of credentials, but yes, in the Mail.app I have set the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) to Gmail (and used the Edit SMTP server list... option to set the smtp server to use default ports, use SSL, and use "Password" authentication (again with my correct username and password for the Gmail account). I also have the Account Information in Mail.app set for the incoming mail server (maybe that's what you mean by both). Either way, I believe having these settings for incoming mail server and outgoing mail server are allowing me to send and receive email for this Gmail account through Mail.app.
I've also had some success by launching Keychain Access.app and finding all passwords associated with the account — specifically and only the Gmail account, in this case — and removing them from your keychain. This does mean you'll have to re-add those passwords — using Mail.app and no other applications — and see if things start working.
I just tried this - I launched Keychain Access.app and removed all entries associated with Gmail. I opened Mail.app, re-entered my password info, and sent a test email to another account - this worked. I opened iPhoto.app, re-entered my password via the Preferences, selected a photo, selected share, selected email, entered a to: address and clicked send - this didn't work (same error message as before (The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination).

When I try to send a photo by email, an error message reads "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination" How do I fix this?

When I try to send a photo from iPhoto by email, and error message reads "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". How do I fix this?

Try to reenter you rmail account details in the iPhoto Preferences > Accounts tab.
Delete the mail account entry by pressing the "-" button below the left column in the panel, then add it again by pressing "+".
Also, it is recommended, to set "Mail" as mail client in the iPhoto preferences, and not iPhoto. This has been working much more reliably lately.

When I try to email pictures from i photos, I get this: email server didn't recognize your username/password combo. How do I fix this?

When trying to email pictures from i photo, a message comes up that "email server didn't recognize your username/password combo" I'm not that savy, does anyone know how to fix this?? I did change my Apple password, but that shouldn't effect it should it??
thanks!!

I get the same message.

I hit iPhoto send and I get: The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination. -- then can't get back to re-enter, which was correct one in first place.

I have filled out an iPhoto "postcard" format with a message and photo, etc., and when I hit send, I get the message "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." I hit OK but it does not clear to refill the log-in -- and I believe the info was correct to start. I'd like to save (and not have to re-crete) the card, but see no way of doing so, thus am fearful of closing it (for good).

in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it

How do I fix my e-mail password for I-photo? Get this message, "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination."

When trying to send a group of photos the e-mail requested my password. Apparently I gave it the wrong one. When I tried to resend, it doesn't ask for a password, just gives me this message, "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." How do I fix the problem? I tried I-Photo help, but it says "NOT available." I'm getting VERY frustrated since my I-Book G-4 NEVER did such "STUPID" things like ask for a password to send photos!!!
I tried sending single photo, but get the same message.
Also, my e-mail is NOT @bellsouth.net. It is @icloud.com I tried to change it but couldn't. How do I change it on this site. I tried to edit my info, but couldn't change the e-mail!!

"The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." This message pops up when trying to send photos from iPhoto via Mail. I have tried reseting passowrds in both gmail and me.com

Thanks for helping Christeneau. You helped me too...eventually. I say eventually because I was puzzled by your 'What does it say behind "email photo's using"'?
I realised the problem was your incorrect use of the apostrophe 's', as in 'photo's using'.
I just could not make any sense of this sentence at all, until I realised that you meant to write, "What does it say behind "email photos using". What you employed was the possesive use of the apostrophe - a mistake that seems to have become endemic in english speaking nations during the last 10 years or so, brought on by the lack of understanding basic english grammar. This has come about because of sloppy teaching methods the world over - it's not really your fault.
It's quite simple: The apostrophe 's' should be used as the following examples show:
James's apple, the car's horn, the world's atmosphere. The one exception is 'its shape,' where there is no apostrophe showing posession because that construction has been used as an abbreviation to 'it is', as in 'it's'.
Plurals (more then one) NEVER have an apostrophe! E.g. CDs, eggs, biscuits, vehicles, UNLESS to show possesion - a CD's label, the biscuit's taste, a vehicle's colour.
Thanks again for you help.

Try contacting/going to their support site either/or Skype or FB. I would start with Skype

Why it says The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination. when I sending pictures from iPhoto to my e-mail.

Have you tried to delete the account from your Preferences and to Re-Enter it? That usually will help.
If not, try to use "Mail.app" as mail client in iPhoto and not iPhoto. Change the the stting in the Preferences > General tab to "Email photos using Mail". This is usually more robust thanthe setting "iPHoto".
