    Hey there! Nice to meet you!

    You can try using the username lookup from this link: https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/forgotten-your-microsoft-account-username-b2049472-3b8f-27d3-61c6-67a668453f4c

    However, the system can only show you a hint of the username once you have provided the verification codes through the account's security verification methods.

    If you aren't able to locate your username, please try finding your Microsoft account username in other products or services associated with that account through this link.

    Once you have located your username and if you do not have any linked verification methods for a password reset, the only way to recover the account is through the account recovery web form: https://account.live.com/acsr

    Important: If you have an active 2FA, ACSR will inform you that your recovery request will be ignored. If you only receive a message that the recovery request is either successful or indicates insufficient information, this means that 2FA is disabled.

    You'll need to keep trying until you're verified by Microsoft, and you can do this up to 2 times every 24 hours.

    If your Microsoft account recovery request was not granted, please review this link for tips on improving your chances of a successful recovery: https://support.microsoft.com/office/dc56c3e3-dff0-4ed5-8edb-60290eea6b53

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Best regards,

    Darhyl
