Hello, I was just trying to setup skype for the first time and somehow it endep up saying that my email was registered already, I used the forgot password option and it email me some info in hebrew (I Know thta another guy gave my adress to some of his Israel friends since I started receiving emails from them a while ago), by using the gmail translate feature I realized that they already have an account name (yaelco20) which I hate and don't want to keep... questions are: 1-how's that even possible fro someone to sabotage my capability to use my own email to setup an Skype account if they couldnt confirm the account creation since they were never able to logon to my email. 2-Given this case, is it possible to get that username resetted somehow, since honestly its not an user fault case, but it is indeed a flaw in your security confirmation procedures.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. I think that is a possible weakness of the Skype verification system, anyone can create an account and register any email address without the need to verifying that email address.
2. Skype allow to have more than one account to be associated with one email address. In your case, you can send an email to [email protected], to report that account and to request to unlink your email address from it.

Someone else is creating skype accounts with my em...

I have had a particular skype account attached to my email address for years. Today, I went to do a password reset (it's been about 6 months since I used skype much and I had forgotten what password I set). When I got the reset email, I did not recognize the username it gave me!
Confused, I tried my other email addresses, thinking maybe I had just forgotten the email address I used at the time. After finally contacting support, they pointed out that there are several skype accounts attached to my email address.
After doing some research into it, I discovered that Skype doesn't verify that you have access to a particular email address before letting you set it as the email address for your skype account.
THIS IS A HUGE SECURITY PROBLEM! I am astounded that Skype has missed this glaring hole in their security. Just to show Skype what a problem it is, I have done the password reset on all the accounts which are NOT mine, and set the primary email address to [edited for privacy]- maybe that will help them see why this is a problem.

Siblings sharing a Skype Account?

I am wondering whether it is against the Skype Terms of Use for siblings capable of having their own Skype accounts to share a Skype account set up for them by their father. See "Skype's USA Consumer Terms of Use" paragraphs 4.1, 4.2 (e), 6.1, and 19.3 (a), and the "Skype Privacy Statement", section: "Children" (Copyright 2015 Skype and/or Microsoft).

Hi,
Skype account are only allowed for individual use. You are not allowed to share an account.

Here is a list of steps to take:

Skype Account Hacked - Will this affect my Microso...

Last Wednesday, I received an e-mail receiving confirmation of my password change, and confirmation of my new e-mail address. Of course, I had changed neither and contacted Skype to let them know that someone had hacked my Skype account.
Several exchanges with them later and things are still being sorted out (after six days). I have reached the stage where I have the link to reset my password, but unfortunately that takes me through to the Microsoft website and it is not the Microsoft password I need to change, but one associated with my Skype Login. Anyway, I digress.
I was wondering, if someone has got into my Skype account, using my Skype password, is there any chance he may be rooting around in my Microsoft Account (Outlook, OneDrive, etc). Or would he have needed to also get around my Microsoft password to do that. I suspect the latter, as that is where I am being sent.
Would anyone like to put my mind at rest?

You can try to retrieve the sync key from that mobile device.

Hacked skype account

I think someone has hacked my skype account. When I opened my account I saw so many missed calls from my relations and freiends, but they didnt call me, and I saw a strangers name in my contact list. My brother told me that he received missed call from me. but I didnt call him. I logout my account again sign in. Then that name was disappeared. I changed the pass word. But at the evening, when I opened my account I saw that name again. So I blocked that name. What can I do?

Compromised Skype Account

Someone has stolen my Skype account. They comprimised my email and changed the password of my Skype account. I got my email back but now it wont let me reset my Skype for some reason. Can someone please help me. I need the skype for buisness and personal reasons and im leaving for vacation soon so I need it before then.

No suggestions then? Been trying to look for a way to contact Skype, but no joy. - Seems like I will most likely lose my business Skype account and all contacts. Bloody typical.
I can't understand how I created an account with my business email, and then when I entered the email address in can't access area box, receive the email and click link to get the error:
"Sorry, we couldn't find an existing Skype account for you. Please contact customer support for more help."
Pissed off and frustrated. Bit rubbish really for a big company.

2 skype accounts sharing same address book, why?

My wife and I each have our own skype accounts. When she adds someone to her address book, the contact shows up in my account's address book (on my computer, ipad and mobile phone).
Same happens to her when I add a contact.
The only possible thing I can think of is that both our accounts share skype credit which is auto-subscribed / topped up using the same credit card. Could this be what is causing our address books to merge?
In not what is and how do I undo it?
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Your description sounds like you two are using the very same Skype account. Can you please check the window title of your Skype for Windows desktop application to verify the Skype name that is signed in for you and your wife?

Someone is using my email to a skype account

Someone used my email address to create this Skype account. I received an email in my inbox saying "hello spikenhh". I don't know who the person that created "spikenhh" is. I went in and changed the password for this account, just for security reasons, in case the person is trying to impersonate me. I don't even want a Skype account, and it seems there's no wayto delete an account. How can Skype allow people to use other people's email addresses to sign up forSkype? This is ridiculous. Delete this account and my email address from your system. I don't want anythingto do with you.

you may need to contact customer service to report that user and to request to unlink your email address from that unauthorized account;

My skype account is linking to someone else. How d...

It seems to be a problem with Facebook connection.
My Facebook ID is linked to my skype account.
I tried sending a message to a friend and the message comes to me.
Now, other people that send messages to her, it seems to come to my account.
How do I fix this?

Please disconnect your Facebook account from your Skype one:

Then connect again. Might be a wrong login was active on Facebook while you set up the initial link.

Hi,
This is one of those situations where you must contact Skype Customer Service directly for assistance. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
You should expect to be asked several questions related to your account to confirm that you are indeed the true owner of the account.
Regards,
Elaine

Unfair blocking of my Skype Account

Yesterday morning I received a fair usage policy violation warning from Skype. Firstly there is no explanation of why was there a policy violation. My usage of skype has been the same across the last 3 years. I have an unlimited subscription for calling India. Having read the policy for fair usage, I don't see any usage violation I have made. Today morning at 1 AM I receive a 2nd message from Skype saying there is a policy usage violation blocking. Whoa, I don't understand this. Between yesterday and today I made 5 calls, none of those are different to any of the calls made in the past. What is the reason for the violation then? I haven't shared my skype details with anyone and yesterday when I saw the warning message, I thought someone could have hacked in, and therefore changed my password as well.Suddenly today I get the fair usage policy violation blocking email and I am completely taken by surprise. I would like to state the following:Fair usage policy warning and blocking messages should not be one way traffic. It should involve interaction with the customer.There should be some way that it should allow the customer to interact with the skype staff to understand the root cause for the problem.Fair usage blocking can't be just immediately done. It's unfair on the customer. For all you know the customer hasn't even understood the reasons for why these messages came up and what behaviour needs to change.There should be some time between the fair usage warning, education session for the customer and the blocking. It allows the customer to display a change in behaviour. This is especially important because the customer might not know areas they are making errors.These are all in line with expected customer relationship management requirements. Skype has just taken all my subscription money for a year and now sitting on it saying we are blocking your account! There is no explanation of which part of the policy is violated either. When you fill a form to put the complaint through, some absurd questions are asked. What is the whole point of asking the customer the year of creation of skype account? How will a customer remember stuff like that? I would like for skype to action this immediately and resolve this problem. You can't incovenience the customer just like that. I have read the community blogs and understand that in the last few months this practice from skype has signficantly increased.

Same thing happened to me today. For the same India unlimited calling. I believe shoe is unfairly trying to push people out of this legacy plan which is no longer available for purchase.
Today I also had a chat with the Skype customer care representative and registered a complain. But to my surprise I also did not get any complain number so that I can follow up on the complaint.
True corporate bullying on part of Microsoft and Skype.
Did you get any resolution to your problem.
