Tigurinn Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 A while back Microsoft announced that they were going to un-link the linked accounts we had on our emails. Since I had no idea what the password was on my linked account I decided to get a new password for my linked account - and to unlink the account as well. But so far I haven't been able to find out how to do it? Is there a setting that I'm missing or was Microsoft going to do it itself in the future sometime, without a set date in mind?

Nas Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) http://profile.microsoft.com err, this is different. https://account.live.com/ <-- Yeah, that's right... Permissions > Linked Accounts and, yes, they'll unlink them for you when they roll-out the "update." Tigurinn 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgevella Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Go to your account settings (not mail settings, click on your user name in the top left/right corner and select account settings). The Permissions section contains your Linked Accounts. I am assuming there is a button or link or something in there to help you out - I am not 100% sure if this will help since I don't have a linked account.

Tigurinn Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Thank you both for you replies. However, I do have one follow up question ...if anyone is still reading the thread :) I used my linked account for spam mail ...signing up on forums etc that could and would probably sell my email address. If I used an alias in my default email ...would that alias email get my spam mail, or would the spam mail be displayed as spam in my main email? (yeah, I really dislike spam - is there any other free email service that provides linked accounts?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
