Unable to link Skype and Microsoft accounts

I am really confused here. I haev tried this on Windows, Mac and iOS no matter what I do cannot link my current/old SKype ID with my longtime Microsoft account. I've followed the KBs poste don this site and I am missing the step where I am offered to link my Microsoft account with my Skype one. E.g I will reference the iOS guide :
Logout of existing Skype ID
Choose login with other account
Choose Micrsoft account
Login with Microsoft account
Choose option for "Already using Skype?" <-- This option does not exist for me on any platform
Not sure why this refuses to work - has anyone else seen this? I had thought initially my Microsoft account TFA (two-factor auth) was throwing this off, and so disabled TFA but still got the same issue.
Then I thoguth that by using one of my aliases for my microsoft account it was not working properly, so I tried the explicit alias I have <username>@outlook.com but that did the same thing.

Ok, I got through the process... of getting back to Skype Community after merging, which is not as easy as it seems. Beware of that! When you merge your accounts, you won't be able to get back to your Skype Community profile due to the merging process that somewhat deletes your "standalone" Skype profile. Your Skype community profile is account-based, not info-based. So even if you will still be using the same Skype name and the same e-mail address, you won't be able to login to your Skype community profile if you created it using your Skype-only account refering to the same e-mail address has your MS one. You will need to create a new Skype community nickname using a completely different e-mail address (like a Gmail or another hotmail, outlook,... that you own). But, doesn't matter if you don't plan to come back to the Skype community, everything else will be fine.
Here's the real stuff! Here are the steps to merge your Skype account with your Microsoft account even if you don't get the prompt asking if you already own a Skype account when logging in with your Microsoft account.
0. Make sure to log out on any Skype app that could still be connected to the service with either of your accounts
1. Go to Skype website and login using your Microsoft account
2. Once on your personal profile page, select "Account Settings" at the bottom of the page
3. Beside your Microsoft account that is listed on the page, click on "Unlink" and complete deletion process of this "ghost profile" (shouldn't be any contacts saved on this profile if you didn't add any contacts in Skype with your Microsoft account)
4. Go back to any Skype desktop or mobile app, login using the "Sign in with a Microsoft Account" option
5. Then, you should be asked again if you own a Skype account, click "Yes", then enter your Skype login information to proceed with the merge.

Merge skype and microsoft accounts, forgot skype p...

Hello, At the moment I seem to have two accounts, a skype account and a microsoft account, which was created when I tried to recover my skype password. When I enter the email address I used for skype, I'm now directed to the microsoft account password recovery, for which I do know the password. My contacts now see two accounts: a "firstlastnbr" and a "live:first.last". And my microsoft account has no contacts... Please advise, thanks ! Spiffo

would I have to use my Skype/Microsoft login, or can I use either?
You can login into Skype using your Skype details or your Microsoft details.
would my username change to my Microsoft account name?
No.
or would it be prefixed with 'live:'?
No.

Can't login to Skype with Microsoft account

Hello!
My problem is I can't login to Skype (website and program both) with Microsoft account. When I try to login to Skype on website, it says: There is a problem signing in with Microsoft account. Please try again or sign in with Skype details instead.
Please help me, I tried so many things and nothing works...

And me. And I tried to reset my password by getting the "password token" emailed to me. Once received I clicked on the link to reset my password and it told me that my "password token wasn't recognized" and to enter it manually. I did that, going as far as to cut and paste the token, and it wasn't "recognized" again.
And when I was able to sign in, I couldn't get any new contacts, even though I knew they were presently signed in.
Bring back Windows Live!

Unable to log in with Microsoft Account

I'm on Windows 7 Professional using the Skype desktop client. When I log in using my Skype name, I'm unable to see my Lync contacts. I was successful signing into my Microsoft Live account after several attempts yesterday. This morning when I booted up my laptop, I get an error that it cannot log in. If I sign into my Microsoft Live (Outlook) e-mail, I'm able to use the IM from the webmail client. This happens often with the desktop client. Any help would be much appreciated. This is so frustrating.

Try this:
Reset all Internet Explorer settings:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
Clear all Temporary Internet Files.
Open Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> General. In the section “Browsing history” press the “Settings” button and in the next window the “View files” button. Delete all files from the Temporary Internet Files folder.

Merging with microsoft account

I had one skype account which I deleted because I didnt like the username. My microsoft account was merged with that skype account.
Now I have created a new Skype account and I want to merge the same microsoft account with this new skype account. But I am unable to do so.
When I try to login using microsoft credentials it just say that the account has been suspended for my security. I had two live chat with skype support but thay are unable to resolve the problem.

under normal circumtances, one can easily unlink their Microsoft account with a certain Skype account (https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12211/how-do-i-unlink-my-skype-and-microsoft-or-facebook-accounts), then merge it with another Skype username.
However, in your case, as it seems that there are possible issues related to your microsoft account, you may need to settle the issue first and only the customer support can assist you with that. You can try to contact them again to know what your possible options are.

Skype WiFi + Outlook Account = Don't Mix

Skype WiFi is a useful service that Skype offers us, but if you have setup your Skype account with Outlook account it doesn't work e.g. Login doesn't work. Please help.

Hello,
You can use your existing Skype account to avail Skype WiFi feature. Now, if your Skype account is merged to your Microsoft account, it should still work. You just have to use your Skype credentials to sign in to the Skype WiFi application or Skype application, not your Microsoft account credentials. You cannot use Microsoft account yet for Skype WiFi feature.
I hope this information will help.

Please follow the steps below to check the service named "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant" status.

Where should we send the code? The Microsoft account's email no longer valid, and I can't sign in to my account from a location that I've used recently(with thesame computer) as it's 10kmiles away from my place now(when I was having bussiness trip). What can I do to resolve it and sign in Skype with the Microsoft account with the email no longer valid?

if the email is invalid
just a guess u can't sign in to live.com as well
you will need to contact Customer support to change your email for you
they might ask some verification though
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Wow. Applauses for the Skype Support. (Account Blo...

Dear Sirs, I come with a complaint. Skype has completely BLOCKED/SUSPENDED without any kind of explanation leaving me at a loss as to why. I cannot believe what I am having to go through to get help with my account that has been blocked. I have no idea WHY it was blocked.
I tried to log in on Wednesday 02/07/2014 when I got the warning message. It was required of me to fill out a form with instructions to check if the data between skype's database and my personal info matched.
Seeing as I had an important business meeting through Skype that day, it becomes clear that, due to all of this hassle, not only have i missed the interview, but have also been left in an extremely uncomfortable situation when I had to send an SMS message on the last minute to my company's headquarters informing that I was incapacitaded to do te interview for these very inconvenient reasons while 5 people on the other side of the world waiting for me.
I sent the form, waiting on a response from Skype, wich was said would "only" take 24 hours max. I waited more than 36.
The person who was atending me, some man by the name of "Adonis" returned the email asked me what would be the Skype-names/Microsoft account adresses involved with the issue.
Wich I sent over. Asking if they could enlighten me with deeper information as to why my account had been blocked/suspended. Again a 24 hours wait (this time actually gotten a response in -24 hours).
Today, 05/07/2014, I have goten a new email as if nothing i ever sent, EVER, was received, and completely intentionally ignored by Mr. Adonis and as if nothing was taken into matter.
Mr. Adonis sent me a link, asking me to fill out the first, and before mentioned form, i had already have to go through. Having my question as to why the block was happening completely overlooked.
This seems like a big joke, and makes me honestly wanting to leave skype forgood. And giving my list of contacts as already lost.
Unfortunately I have some contacts wich are irrecoverable, business as well as personal contacts.
I would Skype to give me a response about this. Before this turns into an endless merry-go-round of automated emails like the ones Mr. Adonis have been sending me after ignoring the previous ones, I come to ask if it would be possible to go on with the recovery process with someone other than Mr. Adonis, who clearly has no clue about what he is doing and already showed he has no interest of making this work for his client at all.
Best regards,
Martin

Wich I sent over. I use two accounts. An old Skype name (before Microsoft came into the picture) wich is tnt_for_the_brain . And the other is just when I login with my hotmail email [email protected]
I sent this 2 informations over asking if they could enlighten me with deeper information as to why my account had been blocked/suspended. Again a 24 hours wait (this time actually gotten a response in -24 hours).

Like I said, Mr. Adonis has been sending replies to my emails (with data-request for proceding with account recovery) completely ignoring the previous ones, and asking from me, information already given again. I'd like to know if it would be possible to go on with the recovery process with someone other than Mr. Adonis R., who clearly has no clue about what he is doing and already showed he has no interest of making this work for a client at all.
PS: There are a few questions that seem asking a bit too much from customers, no? Like " When did you create your Skype account?"
I am old Skype user, since it's beginning, I have a tremendously busy life, and I can't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday. Some things on that list are just.. too much!
Hope this gets sorted out ASAP,
Martin Pereira R.

Hi, Ritu..., and welcome to the Community,
As the error message you posted the screen shot of states, you will need to contact Skype Customer Service directly. We here in the Community do not have the facility to unlink Skype and Microsoft accounts.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
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.
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.
Regards,
Elaine
