  unauthorized access, you can use the Microsoft

  or verification app associated with your account,
  or be able to answer a few questions about your
  account to verify your identity.

  sign in page. Your Hotmail account still works
  with Outlook.com. You can recover inactive
  accounts for up to 365 days since the last time

  account.

• Fill out the questionnaire (if necessary).
  If you had to select the "I don't have any of
  these" option, you will be asked to fill out a
  questionnaire to prove that you are the owner of
  the account. This is to prevent unauthorized
  users from accessing your private emails. You
  will need to provide an alternate contact email
  address before you start, but if you don't have
  one you can create one for free. You will be
  asked questions such as previously-used
  passwords, account creation dates, and other
  questions about your account usage. Try to answer
  these as accurately as possible. These surveys
  are reviewed by support staff and matched against
  records to check for accuracy. Receiving a
  response may take a few days.

  selected your verification method, retrieve your

  verification email, including Spam. If you are
  using Gmail or Google Inbox, check the "Updates"
  section.

  have the page open, you can enter the code in the
  box. If you've closed the verification page, you

  verification code, you'll be taken to the account
  reset page. Here you can create a new password
