Managing personal Outlook.com account settings, security, and privacy
Microsoft cannot send a full list of all email addresses linked to a phone number, but there are supported ways to look up and recover the correct Microsoft account.
Use these steps:
- Look up usernames using your phone number
- Go to the Look up your Microsoft account page and use your phone number as the security contact: Search.
- Request a security code to your phone.
- After entering the code, a hint of each username will be shown in a format like:
j*******@outlook.com. - Repeat this for any other phone or email you may have used.
- Check products or services where the account was used
- Check all email accounts for receipts from Microsoft for the games bought (digital games, subscriptions, etc.). This can help identify which email address was used for purchases.
- If the games were on Xbox, use the Xbox “Find your Microsoft email address walkthrough” linked from here: Check products or services where you used your Microsoft account.
- Confirm whether an email is a Microsoft account
- For any email address you suspect, go to https://account.microsoft.com and enter it.
- If a password prompt appears, that address is a Microsoft account.
- If the message says “We couldn't find an account with that username” or “That Microsoft account doesn't exist,” check spelling and domain or see if the account may have been closed.
- If the username is known but won’t sign in
- If a recovered username and password no longer work, follow the guidance in My username and password have stopped working and use Recover your account to reset the password: Recover your account.
If none of the hints match and the account has not been used for a long time, it may have been closed and may no longer be recoverable.
