Windows 10: How do I log into second non-Microsoft account without email on Windows 11?

I have a new laptop for work that I linked to my work Microsoft account. For a new software, i want to create a second account, not linked to Microsoft. I made the account but when I try to log in, it asks for my email address, which the new account does not have. I can't change it to ask for username.I have seen Youtube videos where it has the accounts listed in the start menu but that is not here.Where do I go from here?

email account hacked. please help

Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

Gmail
Outlook

The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!

 

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

Logging in with a microsoft account

Bought a new Dell computer with Windows 11 installed. It asked me to log in with an email account tied to a microsoft account. I entered an email address not linked to a microsoft account and now I can't log in without getting a code from microsoft. I need to remove the error email address from the Windows 11 software so I can log in with the correct one. Anyone know how I can remove the old errorneous email address from the microsoft account in my Windows 11? Thanks!
