Connect to windows 8.1 with Skype account

Hello

I do not have a Microsoft account and I do not want a. Most applications in windows 8.1 which are built to pester me for a MS account however Skype does not include Windows 8.1 out of the box.
Can I use Skype on windows 8.1 without a microsoft account?

Yes, you can, but for this you need to install the desktop version of Skype for Windows.

  • Skype account is always available with the old user name and password after you bind Microsoft account

    After my new account Microsoft a link to my original Skype account, I'm still able to sign into account newly merged with the old Skype account username and password. Of course, I am also able to connect to the account merged with the Microsoft Mail and as well password account.

    My question is this, is this a planned security measure? As far as I know, support faq suggested using the Microsoft account to connect to the newly merged account. The support page is in the link given.

    I thought that once the merger of Skype accounts both Microsoft, the only method to sign the merged account is using the Microsoft account only. Please enlighten me on this matter. Thank you.

    This works as expected. When you link a Microsoft account with Skype account name, you should be able to connect to Skype, either by using Skype or Microsoft account name. Two connection options will lead to the same account.

        • I changed the password on my live account to account.live.com

          • I can connect to most Live services with this account by using the new password (I'm now connected with it)
          • It will not work with the installation of the parental controls, I installed on two computers (for example, to work around a site "in person" or temporarily disable the software.)
        • I uninstalled parental controls on both computers and reinstalled with the web installer Live Essentials.  The real account seems to authenticate correctly the first time, he asks the account to use when opening of parental control for the first time.  After that, "the Windows Live ID or the password is incorrect.  Please try again ".

    Hi fsscayc,

    Regarding your password problem, I will convey this to our Windows Live team as a feature request for a future version of the program. The team of the said values and recognizes the suggestions and feedback from users of the Windows Live products. You can also submit this page http://feedback.live.com/ and select "Windows Live Family Safety".

    When you go to fss.live.com and it redirects you to the website "Live Essentials", this indicates that the account has not yet been defined in the client Windows Live Family Safety. You must connect to the customer first before you can access fss.live.com.

    On the prompt "only an adult can connect as a Parent Family Safety. Ask an adult to log in.' it is possible that you tried to open a session with a Windows Live account does not have the required age of the customer sign of family security.

    Let us know if you have followed all of questions about this.

    Thank you

  • Unable to connect to Skype last with Messenger account

    Hello

    I see that this has been asked before, but no matter how I search, I can't find an answer, so I hope someone will be able to help here please?

    For the last year I've been deliberately uses an earlier version of Skype as it was (and still is) a problem of signing in the last version of which was an old MSN/Messenger account. I get the message saying that my login details were not recognized. Then I found on this forum if I rode back to an older version of Skype would be all well... and it was... until today...

    I now have the question when I sign in I am disconnected back and said that I have upgraded (see photo). But with the latest version... I sill have the problem where they tell me my login details are not recognized.

    I have a true Skype account in my own name, but it is work related and I don't want to mix all the contacts. The one I use in my personal account was my old MSN/Messenger account and it was taken over by Skype.

    Help!

    I use a computer laptop Dell Latitude E6500 and Windows 7 Professional, I have four years and not had a problem until now.

    Why doesn't the latest version of Skype with old Messger login?

    Thank you very much
