Skype doesn't sign in

Hey,
I am using skype on my laptop , tablet and android.
My skype refuses to sign in "incorrect password or skype name" , I resested the password and still it doesn't sign in on any of my devices. 
I can sign in to the skype website, with the same username and password. But when I use it on the application itself it doesn't work.
In addition,  if I try to use my microsoft account, the skype recognizes the account but doesn't sign in.
1. Anyone has a solution?
2. How can I contact the support of Skype ( Their actual support email)?! I don't want to look for the answers in the forum, I have money on my account.
Thanks!

This exactly describes my problem, which went from bad (i.e., intermittent) to worse (i.e., never working) after the OS 10.10.3 Supplemental Update.  I have tried many times.  But after login, Skype just spins and hanges until I force-quit it.  Except once, when it actually crashed.
Upgrading from 7.6 to 7.7 hasn't helped.  Deleting the Application Support/Skype folder hasn't helped.  Deleting the relevant Preferences file hasn't helped.

  • App version of Skype won't sign in

    For some reason the Skype app on my install of Windows 8.1 Enterprise will not sign me in. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it a couple of times. 
    I've tried the steps outlined here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Modern-Windows-for-users-on/Oops-there-was-a-problem-Please-restart-Skype-or-try-again/m-p/1271790/highlight/true#M3388 I tried sfc /scannow still no luck.
    Still can't get it to sign in for some reason. My login works just fine for the desktop app, but I like being able to snap the Skype app to the side of a monitor for chatting, but for the life of me I can't figure out why it won't sign in.
    It just sits there attempting to sign in for roughly 3 minutes and then fails with Oops...There was a problem, please restart Skype or Try Again. Any further ideas on this?

    Then why the heck do you still have it on the store like it works? And why just a generic "Something went wrong" error message than having it say "we can't sign you in because this version of Skype has been deprecated"? I wasted four and a half hours this morning troubleshooting this because nobdoy at Microsoft stopped and thought to have the common courtesty to maybe have an actually informative error message about the failed sign in and remove the non-working application from the Microsoft Store.
    Jeez, and here I was thinking Microsoft was a professional company that cared about end user experience. Nope, they just leave you with a cryptic error message making you think it's something wrong on your side rather than the truth...
    Also, thank you so much for removing wonderful features that worked without any problems whatsoever before. I don't know what I would have done had I been able to keep using Skype conveniently...
    And that isn't even to mention how it breaks the People app too. It has your Skype contacts in there, but now since Skype doesn't work when you go in there and tell it to IM or call someone it just goes "durr, I don't know what to do."
    If you're going to change a workflow like that, at least tell the other places that rely on the Moden Skype app to gracefully redirect to the new worflow.

  • Skype no longer signs me in automatically

     I'm assuming this is an update, because it says I have Skype 7.5.85.101 but it doesn't sign me in automatically when my computer turns on anymore, and every time I put in my password and sign in, it thinks I'm signing in for the first time ever.  I don't know what to do about it since I reinstalled, hoping it would fix it or go to some 'fixed' version, but I don't know what to do about it.

    Goto tools > options and make sure start Skype when windows starts is checked.

  • Why is skype no longer signing in automatically?

    Hi,
    On my computer (Win XP SP3), I have skype (5.3.0.120) set to sign in automatically, but not start automatically. Normally, when I click on skype in the start menu, it automatically signs in and goes straight to the main window with all my contacts and everything. Today, when I clicked on skype in the start menu, it gave me a log in screen. It remembers my user name but it is asking me to put in my password. (The 'sign me in when skype starts' box is still checked.) Why would it suddenly ask for the password? I am not aware of any updates this morning (and past updates have not resulted in this behavior). Is this a known issue with skype today, or is it possible my computer has been compromised? Is it safe to put in my password to log in to skype?
    Thank you!

    The problem, that Skype does not start when you start windows/logon, seems to be with version 5.5, both the Standard and business versions.
    The simplest workaround is to disable the "Skype starts when I start Windows" setting and then add a shortcut to Skype.exe to the "Startup" folder.
    This implies no changes of any setting of Internet Explorer or otherwise and can easily be reversed by removing (deleting) the shortcut.

    There still would not be an auto logon if this procedure is not followed: http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/Why-is-skype-no-longer-signing-in-automatic...

  • Skype doesn't show up at all

    Hi there,
    I tried to install skype today. Installation went without any hitches, but running skype doesn't do anything. There's no window popping up, there's no icon in the systray, just nothing. No error messages either, when starting skype from the console. It just runs, but doesn't show up.
    Am I the only one with this problem? Any idea what this might be?

    Will do, thanks for the hint. Right now I'm happy it runs; as I don't reboot my box too often it's not a biggie with the waiting ... Cheers everybody!

    I've been trying to reinstal the lifeframe for webcam. Doesn't work
    Tried to using many cam. doesn't work
    Tried to making default the windows itself. Doesn't work
    Reinstall and update skype. Still doesn't work
    I even calling an IT to fix this, but he still unable to find the problems.
    Any ideas?

  • Skype doesn't login on my i phone 4

    Hi i needed skype for i phone4 when i was trying to download the i phone app rejected  and shows to update ios from 4.0 to update the latest one i updated to ios6.0 but still skype doesn't work. i removed the app as shown on Apple website reinstall again but still skype doesn't working.

    it's unclear as to what you mean by it don't work your title seem to indicate that it can't login but your post seem to indicate that it can't launch
    if the former then I would reset the password

  • 10.0.01 ver. doesn't sign-in automatically i look up password manager, it seems it saves usernames and passwords, when i visit websites i am not automatically signed in and when i reopen mozilla it keeps on asking main password to sign-in all the time.

    10.0.01 version doesn't sign-in automatically... i look up password manager, it seems to it saves usernames and passwords, when i try to visit that website i am not automatically signed in and when i reopen mozilla it keeps on asking main password to sign-in all the time... it happened after mozilla updated itself... please help about it.. (i dont have problems like this in Opera browser)
    mozilla fills user name when i click but after that it asks for main password (whats the purpose of remembering passwords if it will ask for main password)
    by the way main password for password manager is of course useful but it şs useful whenever i want to use it not all the time i open mozilla .
    and not all the time i open a website or forum which i often use...
    there were no problems before it updated itself...
    please tell me the solution

    my problem is not related with using main password or not...
    in former versions of firefox i was automatically signed in to websites without any click... it wasnt asking me to sign-in (because my usernames and passwords were remembered-and saved in password manager)
    in this version they are remembered again but i have to write first 2-3 letters of my username and it remembers my username then it remembers password...
    for example when i clicked twitter.com my account and my homepage as automatically opened, but in this version when i click twitter.com it opens the sign-in page and i write first 2 letters of my user name it remembers name and password and then i signin
    (difference i was at where i want to sign in with one click--- but in new version 1click for webpage-1 click for clicking to username are-1-2 letter writing to find my user name-1 click to remember password-1 click to sign in) an addition: also if i am using main password i am entering main password and click to sign-in
    This can be little problem to u, but it is really annoying problem, 9-10 clicks more for each webpage which i wanted mozilla to remember my usernames and passwords... it also asks main password if i am using...
    if i want to visit 5-6 different websites it means 70-80 clicks more and 50-60 letters typing according to your main password .. (in opera and mozillas former versions it is just 5-6 clicks)
    so main problem is the cookies were remembered in all the sessions but after it updated to v.10.0.1 expiry date of cookies of same websites that i visit are just for one session... it is not related with the websites and their servers that i visit because if so how can Opera remembers all the time...

  • Skype keeps on signing me out automatically after ...

    Hi there, I just want to let you know, for the past few days, my Skype decided to sign itself out after a couple of hours, here are the steps I took to see if things improved, 1. I have unlinked my Microsoft account, 2. I have unlinked my Facebook account, then I have relinked my Microsoft account, so far, it staied stable, I tried relinking my Facebook account, there is where it started signing me out once again. I hope I'm not being singled out here as I've heard that others aren't having the same issue.

    When you are automatically signed out of Skype after linking your Microsoft account:
    Do you land on the Skype sign in screen again?
    Any error message shown on that like "We've signed you out because..."?
    Also: Do you happen to use the "Windows Live Mail" app with that same Microsoft account? We've seen reports of users getting signed out of Skype if they use that app: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Having-to-log-back-into-Skype-every-time-I-open...

    What version of Windows are you on (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 )? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

    What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
    In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.
    P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

    Hi! Four weeks before Skipe was working on my computer on Windows 7 ultimate properly. After next update to version 6.6 it's stop working. After start Skype appears blank window and nothings happend for more than 20 minutes. I've read posted messages here and recommendations. I made all recommended - uninstalling Skype, cleaning work folder and registry and new install. After that Skype doesn't work again. I've tried the same with versions 6.3 and 5.1, but all the same happend. Than I try Skype ver. 3.8 and it's workin now. Please help me.

    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.

  • When I sign into Skype it immediatley signs me bac...

    When I sign into Skype it immediatley signs me back out. Like, when I turn on my computer, my skyper is always open. This morning it was fine, but when I got back from school it popped open and said I had to log in. I logged in, and about two seconds later, before anything even loaded up, it logged me right back out. I've been searching through the forms for about twenty minutes now, and seeing everyone else who has been having trouble simillar to this. I tried all of the things that people said to do, nothing works. I have Windows 8.1. I'm actaully getting very irritated with it at this point, so I'm just going to leave it until some one can help me, before I throw my computer at the wall. x'D

  • Skype doesn't detect webcam on new windows 8 lapto...

    I have a new laptop pre-shipped with windows 8. I installed skype via the skype download page, and after the install I see that it does not detect my webcam.
    I go to Tools->Options and skype doesn't detect that any webcam exists on the system.
    I've changed the windows 8 webcam privacy settings to allow skype to use my webcam, though I'm not clear if this affects the normal old desktop skype or that new metro skype (I'm not even quite clear if those are two separate applications, that whole metro thing is still just weird and unuseable to me, not sure why I'd ever want skype to take over the whole desktop as it does if you go into it from the metro interface).
    There are tons of results for webcams not woring in skype, but after going through many of them they don't seem to cover this case of "skype just doesn't detect the webcam in windows 8".
