I followed the instructions at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/support/msdn-technet-resources#how-to-award-your-msdn-and-technet-contributions-in-microsoft-learn and am unsure how to proceed. I can sign in to the MSDN forums using the same credentials that I use for signing in to Q&A. If I am already signed in to Q&A the MSDN sign in process notes that I already have a signed in account I can select it to complete the MSDN sign in. Upon doing so the process completes and my old MSDN profile is loaded.
So I am a bit confused by the Q&A instructions about adding another account to link MSDN to Q&A. There is no other account as far as I can tell.
Should I provide the credentials for my currently signed in Q&A account in response to the Add Account prompts?
If not, what steps should be taken?
Hi @RLWA32 ,
Microsoft Certification / Exams is currently not supported in the Q&A forums.
Maybe one of the links is helpful:
Microsoft Training & Certification is supported on their own forums:
It's possible to ask questions by clicking on "Get Started" -> "Ask a Question" and Learn/Cert Moderators will help you.

Thank you for responding but I am not asking about certifications.
My question revolves around linking the MSDN profile that I used to participate in the now closed forums to the Learn profile accessed by Q&A.
The recommendation to connect your MSDN/Technet to your Learn profile will help us add a badge/label to your profile in the future that you were an MSDN/Technet contributor. If you are using the same email address on Learn that you used on MSDN/Technet then you should be good to go.
@Richard Hay, As I indicated in my question I am using the same credentials to sign in to MSDN and to Q&A. Identical email addresses.
"If you are using the same email address on Learn that you used on MSDN/Technet then you should be good to go."
So does this mean that no action is required on my part?
Correct...
@Richard Hay, Thank you.
Hello All,
I has the same experience as RLWA32. TechNet still recognized me when I used my sole set of Microsoft credentials (and could show me "my" content), but I was not sure whether (in some way) my TechNet presence was somehow linked to an older (company) e-mail address. I spent some time trying to re-gain access to that old e-mail address (Microsoft still seemed to "recognize" it) before giving up.
Fortunately, one year's experience of this forum had recalibrated my quality expectations and approach: don't worry and be happy if it eventually works.

Yeah - the impact of connecting your MSDN/Technet to Learn is supposed to launch early next year.
