Windows 10: Wrong Email On my Account

I have been having problems with my account "not existing", and I tried logging into my "OneDrive" on my pc but it said my password was wrong, which it wasn't. It then said send code to "w***@gmail.com", my email doesn't even have a "w" in it, so I reseted my password and on my email it said "changed password for da***** Email address is removed for privacy ***." Which is also not me. I tried changing my password several times to gain access to my account but these weird emails keep popping up and I'm not sure what to think of it. How do I get my password changed without microsoft thinking im "w***@gmail.com" or "da**v@gmail.

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.

Hello vexorg,

You might check using step 3 in Option Two of the tutorial below to see if your son's email is listed under your "Email & app accounts". If so, deleting it will remove it.

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!
