Microsoft: You need to fix your Skype and Microsoft account issues, this is insane

It looks like [email] is used with more than one account. Which account do you want to use?<p>- Work or school account<p>- Personal account<p>I get this prompt every time I try to log into Azure with my work email. If I choose the work account (the most intuitive option) my azure subscription list is empty. I have to log out and select the other option.<p>Why is there a difference and why isn&#x27;t this transparent? I am authenticated, you know who I am, give me access to the things I&#x27;m authorized for. I don&#x27;t know what kind of weird backend situation MS has, but asking me to understand it is terrible UX.

Microsoft truly sucks with account management. Here is what happened to me with Microsoft Office last week:<p>- My Office University account expires.<p>- My father invites me to be part of his Office 365 Family subscription (it includes 5 accounts).<p>- I click on the &quot;Get the invite&quot; button on the email I have received and... &quot;You already have an active account&quot;.<p>There was no way from the website to cancel my expired University account, the only available option was to subscribe to my own Office 365 Personal account (€10&#x2F;month).<p>I have contacted Microsoft and it took 90 minutes of chat, including a one hour session where a Microsoft support guy took control of my computer (it was totally useless, the error has been solved by a modification in the Microsoft account database), to fix the issue. As titled here: this is insane.

Shit like this is why I don&#x27;t use anything from them. There are probably 15 or so different accounts for me in their DBs, which I will never even attempt to use again. Life is too short to put up with managing other people&#x27;s CRM for them.<p>Apple is actually getting close to this bad, too, and in some ways, worse.<p>I gave my mother my old iPhone over a year ago. It was wiped, and we set it up with the &#x27;family&#x27; whatsit. For reasons I won&#x27;t go in to, at some point, I ended up giving her my Apple ID password to fix a problem when I couldn&#x27;t do it.<p>Ever since then, something has periodically decided to sync a random assortment of things. It isn&#x27;t consistent, temporally or in terms of what it syncs. (I&#x27;m very anti-cloud-service; I don&#x27;t use online backup, sync or cloud docs or any other sync services from Apple. I think my other uses the backup, but nothing else, because the phone is her only Apple device.)<p>A few months ago, her contacts ended up splattered all over mine. I deleted them, it happened again a few days later, this time just a random assortment of them.<p>Yesterday, my call logs ended up on her phone.<p>Short of asking her to wipe the phone again, I don&#x27;t know how to make this crap stop, but I&#x27;m sick of it. Seriously considering going back to a feature phone; everyone making modern phones appear to (a) make it impossible to have a self-contained phone without your personal life smeared across multiple companies&#x27; servers, and (b) be too incompetent to actually smear my personal life across their servers without fucking it up.

Try using Skype for business... Your chat history is gone when you switch to another app and is not even saved on a PC. It&#x27;s always the question if a chat ends up on your laptop of mobile. You frequently miss chats or have a &quot;you missed a chat&quot; email, even though you were logged in. It is an insanely poor product. I guess it&#x27;s not where their focus is. It could easily be a Slack alternative except that it is so bad.

Yes.. I have a similar tale of woe.<p>I&#x27;d like to change the username of my basic Skype account. Alas, it has the company name I worked for at the time. I also have some credits in that account. I&#x27;d either like my credits back, or I&#x27;d like to change my Skype username. Neither are possible.<p>I&#x27;d also like Microsoft to stop asking me if I&#x27;m using a business account, or a personal account, when I enter my work email address into every Microsoft service we use every day.<p>That&#x27;d be nifty, too.

By ways of some bad choices I wound up with 3 Microsoft accounts. I never knew which services were on each.<p>In addition to those 3 accounts, I had 2 Office accounts (one for work, one personal). Notwithstanding that the O365 sign in <i>really</i> can&#x27;t handle two accounts on the same browser (by ways of automatic redirects) - I didn&#x27;t know if services were on O365 or Live. MSDN and VSTS do not support O365 login, so I had to tell my Live account to claim my MSDN keys. It&#x27;s nuts.<p>I eventually just forget about accounts. I stopped using O365 for personal email. Don&#x27;t use O365 for <i>anything</i> personal, you will pay hell for it (for more reasons than merely sign in).

I love that I can&#x27;t sign up for Azure services because i need a &quot;real&quot; phone number and no, VOIP numbers like google voice, Microsoft&#x27;s own Skype or even my actually land line (which is through my ISP and apparently classified as VOIP) won&#x27;t work.<p>I don&#x27;t have a mobile phone so that&#x27;s fine, I can get texts on Google Hangouts or Skype but their account software refuses to send the verification texts to those numbers.<p>Fortunately there&#x27;s an option to have them call you but they refuse to send call my home phone system that is registered with my name and that is a valid e911 number associated with an e911 address. A call with a Microsoft support person confirmed that nope, I can not sign up for Azure.

My Skype account was temporarily hacked at one point, to the extend that it got disabled it. I still have access to the email associated with my Skype account. I&#x27;ve talked to MS support on this already but for whatever reason, they can&#x27;t validate my identity to the extend that I can reset the password on that skype ID. Their only solution was for me to create a new Skype account. What other cloud service does not allow reset of account via e-mail validation!?<p>What a cluster MSFT<p>EDIT: And guess what, I have not used Skype since. Trying to recreate my contacts and the whole process of having family accept my new account was a much larger barrier than just instructing my family to use another video chat service. FU MSFT.

Skype accounts are fucked. Try signing in on Skype for Linux with two different accounts. If you&#x27;re lucky, you&#x27;ll experience the contact shuffle where some contacts are moved from one account to another and others randomly deleted from both accounts. I mostly stopped using Skype after that one.

Here is a fun one. If you use the wrong email address for a password reset, Skype will create a skype user name and account linked to your email address. You will not be able to delete the Skype account. Yeah, fuck you Microsoft.

Microsoft&#x27;s accounts are just managed horribly in general. I&#x27;ve got two microsoft accounts for work and one for personal. The personal one I separate out by having a different chrome profile. However, for work, I have to wrestle with the login screen for about 6 iterations everytime I want a new tab. I use one MS account for azure, another for office 365. Regardless of which one I enter&#x2F;select, it always prompts me for the password for the other account. Drives me effing nuts. Plus that whol &quot;is this a business account or a personal account&quot; selection. jesus. so frustrating.

Funny to see this thread after what&#x27;s happening to me today.<p>I need to get access to my Microsoft Office online documents. I go to login and it has me do a security check with my email: microsoft@mydomain.com. It&#x27;s supposed to send a code to verify my email, but I never get it. So I try option 2, a different email: microsoft@myotherdomain.com. Never get the code...<p>Hmm, does it not like the word microsoft? So I try myname@mydomain.com, and I get the code! Although now I have to answer a bunch of questions and my account is under review -- I should get an answer within 24 hours.<p>But what about the future? My real account is still microsoft@mydomain.com. Will this keep happening? :\

As much as I dislike Google services. Their account stuff just works. For everything they create.

Lost my games and points and credits :(

I have been using Hotmail and Skype since the old days, but now my Skype (on Linux, mind you) is totally unusable and the Outlook online abomination is becoming <i>WORSE</i> every day. I just noticed today that they added a DOOOONG sound to the <i>&quot;webapp&quot;</i>, but then when I open it nothing happened. It was a message in the &quot;Others&quot; recently added tab (not a folder, not spam, somewhere in the middle but physically in a totally different place). I love the &quot;Done&quot; action from Inbox (Google) as it&#x27;s a perfect categorization.<p>So I&#x27;m migrating everything to Inbox (Gmail) and people don&#x27;t care at all switching to Hangouts instead of Skype.

I got caught by another Skype issue - merged my long-time Skype account with my MS account.<p>Old skype account - kinda bad password.<p>MS account - great password, 2FA.<p>Then I got alerts that someone in China had logged in to my MS account. I couldn&#x27;t figure out how they&#x27;d done this until...<p>I figured out they&#x27;d signed in to skype, using my old skype username and old skype password that were still valid for some unknown reason after merging it in to my far more secure MS account.

Google used to be pretty bad at this too, but they seem to have their act together these days. It&#x27;s not an easy problem. But yeah, when I go to use a Microsoft service online it&#x27;s always a crapshoot, and certain products require either a personal account or a work account. Syncing OneNote is a confusing mess because of this. And don&#x27;t get me started on Lync&#x2F;Skype for Business...

Yes, they need to fix a lot of things. Also if you use Onedrive online, you are automatically logged into Skype every time you use onedrive. You cannot log out. You can set yourself invisible, but you will be set back to online next time you log in again. It is ridiculous.<p>Another point is that you cannot use a &quot;work account&quot; you use in office365 as your personal account for OneDrive etc.

My skype account was hacked (who&#x27;s wasn&#x27;t?) a few months ago. I tried to access it to change the password but in the process I was forced to link it some other Microsoft account that I didn&#x27;t even know I had. It took me half the day to recover my original passwords then reset them. Now to get to Skype (if I&#x27;m logged out) I have to log into some Microsoft cloud identity thing.<p>All for a service (skype) I rarely use.

TL;DR: impossible to delete old skype accounts without knowing EVERYTHING about it.<p>I have like 3 old skype accounts which shows up with my name which I can&#x27;t access due to me not having the email addresses anymore nor do I remember the passwords, so it is a pain when people try to add me on skype and I contacted them and asked if they could delete my old accounts since I can&#x27;t access them and they said that is not possible since I don&#x27;t remember all the security questions and answers, wouldn&#x27;t even give me the questions so I could have a chance at answering them..<p>Edit: added TL;DR

Managing accounts is a massive problem everywhere. I recently moved from Australia to the USA, and I have been having this problem ad-nauseam. Try switching your Google developer account to a US bank, or your amazon, paypal or god knows how many others. I accidentally put skype credits on the wrong skype account, and was hoping to be able to merge accounts somehow, but ending up just deciding it wasn&#x27;t worth the $20.

Microsoft should fix this, but I have learned to never link my personal accounts with work accounts after the Dropbox enterprise debacle that led to users losing their personal files! after having their Dropbox linked to enterprise Dropbox and then leaving the company.<p>These situations where you mix personal and enterprise&#x2F;job accounts become edge cases that can be catastrophic for users stuck in them after they leave companies.

To some extent I think this is a user category error. Similarly, one of my platform&#x27;s most frequent support requests is account recovery due to a change of employment. The number of people who use their work email for personal accounts, without thinking about the long-term consequences, is staggering.<p>Protip, don&#x27;t name anything expecting you can change it later.

Looking into active directory based features in Azure (key vault, etc) convinces me that somehow active directory is to blame for a lot of the confusing account issues around Azure. I get the feeling a lot of the microsoft authentication systems are built on top of active directory, which does not seem like the most straightforward auth system out there.

My corp can&#x27;t use Azure. We really want to, we&#x27;re mostly a MSFT shop that runs a largish SaaS application. But Microsoft automatically linked the organizational Azure account for our corporate internet domain to the personal account of an ops guy because of some cookie being present when he created the organizational Azure account. After six months of support calls MSFT cannot get it unscrewed. We&#x27;re spending 50k USD per month with another cloud provider, and want to move to Azure to take advantage of SQL Azure and MSDN credits. But their screwed up account management system is losing them this revenue.

Ever since Lync(corporate IM system) got merged into Skype so that now it&#x27;s just &quot;skype for business&quot; it&#x27;s atrocious, easily the worst application I have on my PC.<p>If someone goes offline, Skype will show you how long they have been offline for. Except....that it&#x27;s just a random number. I can set my status to offline right now, and my coworker will see that I&#x27;ve been offline for.....168 days. Or 700 days. Or 35 minutes.<p>Microsoft knew about this bug for years, and there is no fix for it.<p>Frequently, when I send messages to my coworkers, they appear ABOVE older messages in the coversation, which is extremely confusing, because obviously the whole window will flash to indicate you got a new message, but in reality you have to scroll up to actually see it.<p>Highlighting text is just broken, I dare anyone from MS to reliably highlight just a portion of text without the selection jumping to seemingly random part of the window without any indication how or why.<p>Arbitrarily low character limit, so you can&#x27;t paste snippets of code.<p>During conference calls, audio just dies from time to time, and the only thing you can do about it is kill the conversation and start again. This is a product based off Skype, for fucks sake, that MS is charging us millions of dollars for globally, and that doesn&#x27;t even have the basic functionality working correctly.

Wooh, am I glad I&#x27;m not the only one experiencing account problems.<p>An event I&#x27;m going to requires a Skype account of a preliminary interview. So I go to sign up with my gmail, and I&#x27;m able to create an account. However, I already had a Skype account through MS&#x27;s weird Outlook program (I signed up with my gmail for Outlook, and it automatically created a Skype account without telling me . . . for the gmail account).<p>This bricks both accounts by loading to an error page when I login, telling me to go to MS&#x27;s website to fix my account. I go there and then after spelunking through the maze of a UI, finally get to a page that tells me I need to call Microsoft to diagnosis the problem.<p>Screw that noise. It&#x27;s 2017, this is archaic.<p>Luckily, there&#x27;s a third option for signing up and that&#x27;s through a phone number. I do that, but now I don&#x27;t know what to enter for the username field in my interview app. I look through Skype&#x27;s help docs, and it doesn&#x27;t say anything about phone numbers.<p>I assumed my phone number <i>is</i> my username and that&#x27;s how people can add me. Anyway, that&#x27;s what I put in the app and I&#x27;m hoping that the UN acts like a UN and not a phone number with calling charges.<p>What a mess. It&#x27;s also partly the event&#x27;s fault for using Skype when better alternatives exist.

Skype also has a knack for randomly asking you to input a security code that it&#x27;ll text or call you with, except... When I have recently needed to do it, I got 0 call or text. The email Skype offers to send a code to, in my case, isn&#x27;t the email associated with the account but some old email that no longer exists (old recovery email I think). So I&#x27;m effectively locked out of my account on any new device for the time being, and getting zero feedback when reaching out to customer support. It is a maddeningly bad user experience, and I cannot believe a company like microsoft would let such crippling bugs exist on such widely distributed products.

I have two or maybe one Microsoft account(s). It&#x27;s impossible to tell because I seem to have made two accounts that some parts of their systems think are the same, and other parts think are different. My theory is that I was a victim of some sort of migration bug at some point because I have had at least one account for a very long time (probably since Halo 2 for that online multiplayer). This problem makes it impossible to update relevant details on either account, IIRC.<p>Their support is the worst; they were totally unable to even comprehend the problem I was seeing, let alone fix it. I just gave up trying to use them.

I&#x27;ve got at least three different Microsoft accounts with the same email address. Supposedly there&#x27;s a way to link them, so that this becomes less of a clusterfuck, but I&#x27;ve never been able to make that work. So it&#x27;s just this big mishmash of resources associated more or less at random between these different accounts.<p>It&#x27;s russian roulette every time I try to login to something that&#x27;s authenticated with Microsoft accounts, and trying to remember which login I need to use to access which resources is more than I can keep track of, across outlook, MSDN, forums, Azure, Active Directory, etc, etc.

Trust me, the Xbox accounts aren&#x27;t much better. It is painful. I generally avoid Microsoft accounts like the plague.
