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.

Skype Account username

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.

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?

Hi,
I just registered for my business and was forced to do with microsoft ID - now I dont know what is my skype ID and I cannot post on my site nor can I communicate with my clients.
PLEASE help !!!!

You can create a new Skype account with Skype name as your login ID using this signup form:

How to find out Skype account name

Preface: Sorry, I think this is really simple thing but I tend to be verbose when I'm trying to describe the issue. How would I find out what is my Skype account name? Or more precisely the login name? (I mean of course my own name is on the accout, but I want the "account" name, not the name on the accout, heh) I have an old hotmail account, which has become live/messanger/microsoft account and now after Messanger was removed, Skype account as well. I can login into any of these by logging from the Live/Microsoft account, but what is my Skype account if I want to login using that? On Skype program and website, both list my hotmail address as well as "live:hotmailaddess" part before @ character. But I can't login to Skype using the address, "live:address" or just "address". I can't find anything else on the pages. I tried logging out from the website and then using the recovery option "I want to find out my Skype account" (the website is in Finnish so my translation might not be accurate to what it actually is in English). I typed in the hotmail adress many times since the it asked it for many times a row and continued the steps, finally I typed in the address and capcha , then again it asked the address. I think I made a mistake there, because I think it actually wanted on the last time the alternative address. The website was not too clear about it specially since it wants the address so many times. It displays only a small portion of it and since my alternative address is practically identical to the main address, just an underscore is changed to hyphen, well...So finally it displayed "IF the account address is xxxx for whatever a code has been sent to it". Yeah well since I guess typed in the wrong address, I've received nothing on either. This whole ordeal started today few hours ago when I tried to login to the **bleep** thing. I updated the Skype program, since an upgrade have been around for some time now, and since it always resets the autologin information, I had to manually type them in, and it kept asking for alternative verification address or phone number. There was no way to bypass that. Just to make it clear, it wanted me to give such info, not use the alternative thing since so far I've never given any alternative ways to login or reset account.
Somehow at first I was able to finally get in without giving any alternative info, I kept trying to login over and over, occasionally I tried to login using the "Skype account", but since I don't know the account I could only login using the Live/Microsoft account. Then I logged off from the program, and after that I tried to login back, it wanted to manually login again, and it kept asking from the alt details and I couldn't anyhow bypass that. I also tried logging into Hotmail/Outlook.com from the website as well as Skype(from website), both ways wanted the info but to both I finally somehow managed to get in. I mean the websites, logging inside the program failed all the time. Anyway finally I remembered I had made the second account so I figured I give it as alt address. I got that thing in OK, the second address just has hotmail.com, so I could easily login there by another browser and that didn't want any extra verifications. But before this last attempt, I had used the same "I want to know my Skype ID" feature from the program. To clarify, before linking the second address to my main address. But since I was having so much trouble with getting into Skype(and as well as it's Messanger part) I think I didn't check them out. Plus I had trouble getting into the mail as well, although I finally got in. Soooo...the two mails received in the primary address, "Your Skype Name token" messages which have a link and verification number, they won't work anymore. I try either, and neither works. My guess is they got invalidated by the third request or by either finally adding the alternative address. AND, since the third time I mistook it asking the same **bleep** address for the third or fourth time in the last request and gave the main address not the alt address it probably didn't send the code anywhere. And now I tried again the thing but it refuses to go any further than the first step, because it says I've used it too often in the last 24 hours. So, surely the account name should read someplace?I repeat, I can perfectly login into Skype in web and the program, I know the password and hotmail addresses and all that, but the two types of accounts it lists after logging in, neither work for login. Or does it mean I don't actually have a Skype account, just the Live/Microsoft account which I can only use to login to Skype using that other option? I'm starting to think this is the case.

I am definetly starting to think I don't actually have a skype name. Now I tried again since the 24 hour restriction went off. First from Skype webpage ->sign in -> forgotten your skype name? ->there I enter my hotmail address ->send mail ->then it moves off from Skype and into account.live.com, where it's no longer asking anything Skype related: Why are you having trouble signing in?I forgot my passwordI know my password, but can't sign inI think someone else is using my Microsoft account
So I obviously choose the second option last time since it's the closest available option for my problem, but then it gives me options: Get back into your accountWe can help you reset your password and security info. First, enter your Microsoft account and the characters shown. So again it asked for my address and captcha, and after that I could choose to "verify my identity" by choosing the alt email, but since that is slight garbled and cannot be differented from the primary address, and I was already so pissed off from typing the same address over and over, so at that point I mistakenly wrote the main address again where it wanted to verify it by asking the whole alternative address and thus it never sent the account reset email for the Microsoft/Live account. But since I originally had no problems with that Microsoft account, all I wanted was the "Skype Name", and since the only way to try to find it jumps into the restore Microsoft account thing, I'm assuming I don't have one which I could use to login to Skype, so all I can use is the Microsoft/Live account.

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

Hi,
i have ipad 4 the mic is not working for skype account can u tel me what i can do to get it working?

No Japanese carrier provides unlocking services. Therefore, your phone must have been hacked to unlock it. That hack was removed when you updated the software. You need to be a legitimately unlocked phone.
Best of luck.

My Skype Account got hijacked - What to do now?

So my Skype Account got hijacked today, but I got it back after 10 minutes. The hijackers messaged me with the new password and after I logged in, I changed my password at first. I want them to get punished. They sent messages to everyone with texts like "I am stupid." etc.. I got many messages about it and not everyone in my contactlist believes that the account got hijacked.
So what should I do now? I would like to get them punished.

report them to [email protected]

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.

Elaine

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.
Regards,
Elaine

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-forgotten-my-Skype-name-How-do-I-find-out-what-it-is

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?
