Skype Account username

Hi
Perhaps this is already a question that is being asked a few times, but I would really like this information and by my quick search I haven't found a positive answer - if there is any.
Is there possible to change my Skype account username?
I would really needed it...
Thanks!

nope, it is not possible to change Skype usernames, the only one users can modify or change is their dislay name.

  • What is my skype account username???

    Hello, 
    How can I find out what is my skype username?
    I created skype account with Hotmail.com, but skype doesn't allow me to create username and to choose my password.
    What I need to do?

    hey, sorry if my earlier post sounded somewhat offensive. it wasn't meant to be targeted at anyone specifically though. i was just frustrated with the skype interface generally and was hoping skype could be more userfriendly. i was clicking around while reading unhelpful faqs until i suddenly saw my id "live:...." on the top right of my screen at one specific page. can't remember how to get there again because i closed it accidentally. but at least i have noted it down. took really long to find that. nevertheless, there were still other functions like privacy settings and profile information interface that are lacking.. oh well. thanks for the response by the way.
    Edit: oh yeah. you can find your id if you are already logged in with whatever account by clicking on any person's profile on the right column of this page. i could see mine this way. just rediscovered it. hope this helps.

  • Problems with editing name on Skype account

    Hi
    I'm new to the community.
    I mistakenly gave my first and last name as my first name when I signed-up for one of my Skype accounts (username "redacted for privacy"). I therefore do not have my last name listed in that account.
    I tried correcting this earlier today but Skype is not saving the changes I make - deleting my last name from the first name box (leaving only my first name) and inserting my last name in the right place.
    Any advice?
    thanks
    J
    Post transferred to create new thread (topic);
    subject/title edited accordingly.

    I think the first thing you can try is to use another web browser.

  • Multiple usernames in my skype account

    Hello,
    Can someone please check my account? I would like to know why I have so many different usernames under my skype account. I only have two yet it seems as if someone is using my email address to register in new skype accounts.
    I am really concerned if there is a security breach. Thank you.

  • How Do I Close My Skype Account?

    Dear Readers,
    This question is asked a lot here in the Community, particularly on this message board.  Perhaps this topic added here will be helpful.   This FAQ article explains the process of how to remove your Skype account (the blue type is actually a "link" to the FAQ article): https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA142/how-do-i-close-my-skype-account
    First, remember to cancel all active subscriptions. If you think you might be entitled to a refund, please see this FAQ to determine this:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12147/when-can-i-get-a-refund?
    Second, remove any saved payment methods from your account dashboard.  
    Third, remember to change the account status or presence setting to "offline."  For your convenience, an abridged version of the FAQ article's text - specific only to removing a Skype account - is copied and pasted below:
    How do I close my Skype account?
    If you want to close your Skype account, you’ll need to contact us so we can close it for you.
    First, make sure you’ve cancelled any subscriptions or recurring payments, and used up any Skype Credit you have. Everything associated with your Skype account – including contacts, purchases and history – will be lost when your account is closed.
    Next, contact Skype Customer Service and tell us you’d like to close your account.
    It might take up to 30 days for your name to disappear from the directory, but after that, no one will be able to find you in Skype. Your name will still appear in your friends’ contact lists unless they remove it, but they won’t be able to contact you.
    In the meantime, you can remove your personal information from your profile to prevent people from finding you based on those details.
    Remove your profile information
    This will make it more difficult for people to find you in the Skype directory. You can remove or edit all of your details except for your Skype Name.
    To remove your profile information:
    Change your profile picture and mood message.
    If you have a profile picture that identifies you, you might want to change it. In Skype, click Skype > Profile > Change Your Picture… (on a Mac, click your profile picture and then Change Picture) and browse for a different picture.
    You can leave a status message saying you’re no longer active on Skype, or giving your new Skype Name if you’re using a different account. Go to Skype > Profile > Edit Your Profile… and then click Enter mood message. (On a Mac, click your name or profile picture and then click Add Mood Message.)
    Sign out of Skype.
    It’s a good idea to set your status to offline or invisible, and then sign out of Skype on all your devices. Type the chat command /remotelogout into the chat window to sign yourself out of Skype on any other devices you might be using, then sign out on the one you’re using now.
    Go to your account.
    Sign in to your account on skype.com
    Can’t sign in? Find out what to do if you’ve forgotten your username or password.
    Go to your profile.
    Scroll to the bottom of the page and, under Settings and preferences, click Edit profile.
    Edit your profile details.
    In the Personal Information section, click Edit.
    Remove your information from the Personal Information and Contact Details sections. Some fields are mandatory - replace the info in these with random characters, because you won’t be able to save it if the fields are empty. Click Save.
     Please remember this is a one-time request which cannot be reversed. 
    One more point to keep in mind: removing your account from the Search Directory will not "pull," "remove," "delete," or "retract" instant messages or file transfers that you have previously sent to your contacts.  Your account name will still appear on their contact lists, although they will no longer be able to contact you using the account name you have requested be removed.
    The last step of the process is to file your request to remove your account with Skype Customer Service.   This final and required step in the process is often overlooked, and we here in the Community are not authorized to process service requests.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Skype is aware of sporadic website issues.  Temporarily enabling scripts, disabling browser add-ins that might disable pop-up dialog boxes, and temporarily enabling pop-up dialog boxes may help get you through to Skype Customer Service.  If you still experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser.  
    Look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
    Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • Skype Account contact list and skype name changed

    Hi!
    I have been actively using my skype account again lately and one time last week when I signed in, I just cannot. My username and password are correct. And so what I did was to reset my password. I was able to reset my password through my email and when I signed in to Skype, I found out that my skype account was "hacked", I think. My skype name, profile photo and contact list changed into somebody else's account.
    I just want to ask what has happened to my account? Why did that happened? The username and contact list that appears to my account, I think, was leggit and not an act  of hacking. Could it be possibly that our accounts switched?

    Hi, DaisyrieDumali, and welcome to the Community,
    Your report reads to me like your account was compromised (hacked).  If you still have control of it, sign on to the account dashboard and change your account's registered e-mail address to something else, and then change the password. 
    Also, as a proactive measure, ensure your computer's software and patches are updated, and run your preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware program using the most recent virus signature files available.
    If you have lost access to your account, you may need to create a new account to use so you can contact Skype Customer Service in order to recover the first account.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Skype is aware of lingering problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.

  • Skype account crash after password changing

    Hello,
    in the morning I checked which of my devices are connected to the same Skype ID and I saw about 3 devices with showplaces. I typed /remotelogout and changed my password. The problem is that after the password changing proccess my Skype Account was blocked even with the new password after a PC Restart. This is another account of mine.
    Now, I can't access my account(the system says that the password or username may be inccorect, which is not true), nor change that password to gain my access back because I have forgotten my e-mail(and log in dates) of that Skype account. What should I do?
    If necessary to check the stuck Skype ID, I will give to an Administrator via PM, the new password, the old one and the ID.
    Thanks in advance!

    You will need the original email account to restore your password. If not the only way you can restore it is by contacting customer support:
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1170/how-can-i-​contact-skype-customer-service?q=support
    You can allways try to reset your Skype:
    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.

  • Unauthorized charges and Skype account hacked into...

    Hi all-
    There were 2 times that my Skype account charged money to my username without me knowing, under the auto recharge, and this happened after a bunch of hacked text messages with a Russian phone number drained my Skype account of funds.  Now its saying my accoun is locked so obviously something is up.
    Has this ever happened to anyone else?  I've been trying to reach someone at Skype to discuss this and there is no contact info or fraud dept listed.  Please pass on any Skype corporate info you may have...
    thanks!

    Hi, Greggarry, and welcome to the Community,
    These types of reports typically appear on the Skype Account: Security, Privacy, Trust & Safety message board.  To release your account, you will need to contact Skype Customer Service, as you know.  Once you have your account restored, change the password as well as that of the saved payment method you have on file.  You may also consider contacting the payment method issuer to report the fraudulent purchases; most credit card companies do not hold their customers liable for fraudulent payments if reported shortly after the incident.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    A few more notes to guide you along the way ...
    You will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the webform and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail.
    If you are a Skype Premium or other eligible customer, you will be routed to start an instant message chat session with a Customer Service agent.

  • Multiple skype accounts

    I was suspended from skype due to subscription? or renew $ attempts on an expired credit card. Getting restored is a really silly process. Skype asks security questions SKYPE INVENTS, not me. Questions like "What year did you join Skype?, or what payment method did you first enrol with? No Bank or IRS would use such questions.
    I flunk the tests, im resuspended. Goes on for months. I invent a new skype ID, or two. Im a long time skype customer so history is a mess now. Today I get asked the same silly questions, I guess or fake answers, Im "restored to a Facebook skype account? Microsoft didnt buy Facebook. Im required to change my FACEBOOK PASSWORD. I do that  (So Facebook shares my pawword with Microsift?). Now I'm restored. I try to fix the billing. I have no billing history, no subscriptions , no payments. BUT thats why I was suspended?
    Finally I call Microsoft, choose Syype chat support. It doesnt exist!
    My daughter says "Use Google!"

    If you received an email about Online Number expiry then username should be in the email.
    If it is not then this FAQ should help finding your usernames: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10858/I-ve-forg​otten-my-Skype-name-How-do-I-find-out-what-it-is

  • Can't Access Other Skype Account!?

    I have another skype that is my main skype. This is my old one. My password was changed some how and i checked my email and i never got a password reset email. I could not login with my main skype "byshameless". I tried to reset the password but it would not let me.

    Hi,
    I suggest you get in touch with Skype Customer Service, and someone at Microsoft can look into it for you.
    However, if you've set him up a microsoft account already, you might as well abandon the skype account you set up earlier. Skype supports logging in with microsoft account details, so instead of using his Skype username that doesn't work at the moment, why not just get him to login using the microsoft email and password you've set up?

  • Need to remove skype account ASAP

    I had not idea that once you create a skype account you can not delete it.
    I am getting stalked because my skype account is firstname.lastname
    I changed the username but stalkers are still finding me by searching for my first and last name.
    How do I stop this and do I need to have the police get involved in deleting my account.
    please help me to hide me on skype.
    thank you

    unfortunately, it's not possible to change your Skype username.  In your case, I think you can "block" that particular user or report them to Skype for possible abuse.

  • Skype Account possibly hijacked

    I was making a Skype call yesterday and got bumped off while it was ringing. When I tried to log in again. I got an error message saying that my username and password were not recognized. When I tried to reset my password, the system had no record of my e-mail addresses - any of them.
    Today, I created a new account and then looked for my original username using "Add Contact". It showed up with someone else's name attached to it.
    What should I do?

  • My aunt's Skype account does not appear in search ...

    My aunt created a Skype account for herself so that we could all do Skype calls with her when she is away.  I tried to add her to my Skype contact list today and her username does not appear in search results, when it used to, before.  I logged onto my dad's Skype account, which I created for him and she shows up as having him added to her contact list.  I then asked a friend to search for her on Skype and the username did not show up on her end either.  Could my aunt have possibly gotten rid of her Skype account?  Or is Skype having problems again?

  • Easily switching between skype accounts on same ma...

    Hello,
    I had an old version of Skype that allowed me to easily switch between my company's skype account and my personal account. There was an "account" tab and a "sign in as different user" option that then showed the other account I wasn't currently signed into and allowed me to switch without having to enter login info (it saved passwords and usernames). 
    Now I have version 5.3.0.1093 and I have to sign out of skype and sign back in by entering username and password. Does anyone know how to do this in a more fluid way like the older version?
    thanks!

  • Can't link Microsoft account to Skype account, sam...

    I signed up for skype in 2008. Downloaded the app some years later and started using on electronic devices. Bought credit through iTunes. On sept 26th received 3 strange emails from skype telling me that 1. my “skype credit active again,” 2. “currency conversion from USD to EUR was successful,” and 3. “registered email changed to [e-mail removed for privacy and security].” None of these changes were brought on by me so I went about getting my account frozen/released.
    In trying to deal with this hacked Skype account, I had to create a Microsoft account. I used the same email tied to the hacked Skype account – [e-mail removed for privacy and security]. When I tried to linking this Microsoft account to my Skype username, it didn’t recognize my password so I reset it. My Skype username didn’t recognize the reset password, only the Microsoft account registered to e[e-mail removed for privacy and security] allowed me to use the reset password.
    My question is how can I link the two if I can’t get access to my old Skype account. My “new” Microsoft account uses my old address but now has live:   in front of it, but has none of my old account history, contacts, information etc…I have tried reinstalling the programs on all devices but am never prompted to link accounts as seen in tutorials. Even if I were, I wouldn't be able to sign in to my Skype account. 

    Hi Bunais,
    Thank you for posting this issue on the TechNet community forums.
    From the description I understand that you're having problems switching your local account to a Microsoft account and are receiving the error message: "The password you signed in with is different from your password for your Microsoft account".
    Is this correct?
