I used an alternate email address for Steam so I didn't miss any important emails, but I forgot the actual email address not the password. Anything I can do to get it back? I can remember the main part "firewalker" but not the numbers included in the address. It should be firewalker"missing"@hotmail.com

    I had forgotten my account as well...but if you have a windows phone then the account is mentioned in contacts category. This worked for me.

    This is less than useful if you can't find the email address and you have a kid account attached to it as there is no way to remove the kid account from another account unless you know who is set as the parent.

    If you go into the kid account it shows you it has a parent BUT NOT THE EMAIL ADDRESS OF THAT PARENT which is less than helpful if you don't know how to get into that account.

    There needs to be a way of switching kid accounts if the parent loses the email address they used!

    Hello. I was wondering if you could help me.

    I have forgot my emil address for outlook, but I have been given a hint ( i***************m@o******.com ). I know the password. I need this account because it is linked to my instagram in which I have over 10 thousand followers.

    I can provide any information needed about the account.
