Answer 1

Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

For security reasons, you will only see a partial email address when using your alternate security contact methods to find your username.

In this situation, please first check whether you have sent any emails or messages from this account to your friends, family, or neighbors. If you have, you can ask them to share the full email address shown as the sender.

If that’s not possible, open Microsoft Edge or your Google Password Manager and look for any saved sign-in details for Microsoft services (such as Outlook, Xbox, or other Microsoft apps). Check whether the credentials for your account are stored there, including the full email address associated with your live.com (or outlook.com) account.

For reference, see:

Check products or services where you used your Microsoft account

Answer 2

To recover your Outlook account when you don't remember your email address, you can try the following steps:

1. Use the Recovery Form: Go to the official Microsoft account recovery form at https://account.live.com/acsr. Enter any information you remember related to your account, such as your recovery email or any other details that might help identify your account.
2. Check for Account Information: If you have access to the recovery email, check it for any messages from Microsoft that might contain your account information or username.
3. Minecraft Support: Since your Minecraft account is linked to your Outlook account, you could also reach out to Minecraft support for assistance. They may be able to help you recover your account if you can provide proof of ownership.
4. Provide Details: When filling out the recovery form, include as much information as possible, such as previous passwords, purchase history, or any other details that could help verify your identity.

If these steps do not work, you may need to wait for Microsoft to respond to your recovery request.
