    HiWhen I try to access my Personal Vault the pop-up window displays my primary alias contact email , then underneath says: Verify your identity followed by a defunct email address I no longer use.I want this address deleted and obviously wish to use my primary alias contact email instead.Everything is setup and looks fine in Manage how you sign in to Microsoft.

    OneDrive Personal Vault - accessing from Android device

    I am trying to access my OneDrive Personal Vault using my Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone.
    Whatever I try I end up with a screen telling me to create a Personal Vault, rather than opening the existing one, which was in fact the 'starting point'.

    Steps taken:
    - sign in using my Outlook account
    - select verification method (send a code to my gmail account)
    - paste that into the verification screen

    After clicking [Verify] I get this "Create a Personal Vault"-screen.

    Any suggestions?

    OneDrive Personal Vault - accessing from Android device

    Frankly, I thought it had something to do with Authenticator, but it has not.

    The 'alarming' thing of this all is that, when worst comes to worst and you indeed -need- to access the Personal Vault using an Android device, whilst being on vacation or something, i.e. not comfortably at home, behind your Windows 10 desktop, then...
    you are lost: the PV can not be accessed.

    That's to say, that is my situation.

    I tried over and over.

    I simply followed the steps and don't see where I went wrong.

    Offline access to personal vault!

    In 2020 is there really no way to access the "personal" vault without an internet connection???? That's not very "personal" if I have to be connected to a network to access it! Asinine!!!
