  • If I use more than 1 skype name and password, do I...

    I have several skype names, and if I want to use more than 1, do I need to have a separate account for each name, or do the minutes purchased apply to my email address, not to the skype name?

    Hi, sunandfun7, and welcome to the Community!
    Each Skype name is a different account, so anything purchased by that account can be used only for or on that account.  In other words, purchases are tied to a specific Skype account, not to an e-mail address.
    Kind regards,

    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.

  • 2 skype names with 1 email

    HI!have two skype names registered to 1 email.when click to forgotten passwpr i received an email for only one skype name.but when i open the add contact there appears my second skype name registered to the same email,but when i click forgotten password it doesn't appear in the drop down box.if i delete my first skype name from the email,can i chage the password to the second?thank u

    Hi, Ahmad_h26, and welcome to the Community,
    As bizarre as it sounds, sometimes people do create Skype accounts using other people's e-mail addresses.  Why they would do so, I have no idea -- an account's registered e-mail address is the only way Skype communicates with accountholders.  I can only surmise it is an attempt at identity theft and seeking financial information.
    You may either change the password of the account, thereby assuming control of it, or contact Skype Customer Service to request your e-mail address be dis-associated with the account you did not create/set up.  I would also recommend changing that e-mail address account's password.
    If you choose to take control of the account, you can next request Skype Customer Service remove the account as explained here: 'Can I delete my Skype account?'
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • All I know is my Skype name, and the e-mail is no ...

    I created an account for my father in law a long time ago, so that hencould talk to his grandchildren. This worked fine, until he got a new computer, and we should log in again. The password is not what we thought it would be, and we don't remember which mail it is registered on - but suspect this mail is no longer in use (new ISP - new mail). All we know is the skype name, and we don't have a way to recover the password. Is it possible to solve this in a good manner? Btw. The skype name is firstname.lastname, and he is the only one in the world (definitely) to have this name. Should not be much chance of misuse of the name... Any ideas?

    if you don't have a purchase history, it is not possible to request for a new password for that account. However, if it will remain inactive for at least 6 months I think, it will be tagged as inactive and will be removed from search results.

  • TS1702 I have the Ipod Touch and installed Skype.  I have an account with Skype but when I try to connect my Ipod,  I receive a message saying " We didn't recognize your Skype Name and password"  I connect to Skype through my Facebook account.

    I can not connect to Skype on my I-pod.  I use my facebook account to log into Skype on my pc but when I try to log in on th i-pod I receive a message saying "We didn't recognize your Skype Name and password"

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

  • Forgot my skype name, and I cannot sign in with my...

    Still got the password though!

    Bit of an edit/clarification. I forgot my skype name, and when I try to sign in with my hotmail, I get an error. I have the password, though. What gives?

  • Skype name and password field stays blank

    I can't click on or type in the Skype name or password field. It just says like this: http://prntscr.com/80dv5c . I have 64-bit Windows 7.

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-w​​indows_7/cant-type-into-website-boxes-in-ie11wind​... If typing in Interenet Explorer doesn't work, then you will not be able to type on Skype login window, as this window is created and managed using Internet Explorer engine installed on your computer. As you can see, there might be several causes of this misbehaviour, and you should look at any antivirus/protection software installed on your computer. Meanwhile you can try to make use of the “legacylogin” workaround, which should enable login to Skype using the old legacy login window. However, you will not be able to login using Microsoft account (email address). Quit Skype. Make sure that you don’t see any Skype.exe processes in Windows Task Manager. If necessary, then stop these processes. Open this folder on your computer: C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\ You should see there the Skype application file (Skype.exe).  Right click on the Skype.exe file and select: Send to – Desktop (create shortcut). Right click on the newly created shortcut and select Properties and then the Shortcut tab. In the Target field you will see now: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" Click with your mouse on the text in the Target field and move your curser one space after the last quotation sign and add the text /legacylogin. The text in the Target field should now read: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe"  /legacylogin Click OK to save the changes. Start Skype using this new shortcut. Try now login to Skype?

  • Someone changed my skype name and deleted my conta...

    I went on holidays for a week, next time i tried to log in, the system did not allow me to enter
    i requested a new password, and to my surprise, my new name was: [Removed for privacy] , like a joke name..
    so anyway.. i set a new password and enter my new [Removed for privacy] account.. 
    with no contacts in it..
    so i ask google if its possible to change back my [Removed for privacy] name, to a human one, and to my second surprise, its NOT possible
    So...   how this happend?   if its not possible, some error in the system did it?
    or this is really possible, but not allowed to "normal people"
    I need to recover my contacts and my older Skype name
    Please if you have a clue of what could have happen, help would be nice

    It is indeed not possible to change a Skype username., so it seems that someone else may have created a new account under your email address.  Unfortunately, Skype doesn't send confirmation or validation emails to the email address registered when creating an account.  
    you may now need to contact customer service for further for further asssistance in regaining access to your account. Just open the link pasted below to see the instructions on how to get in touch with customer service -
