Skype accounts

In the good old days, it was possible to have a Skype account without the need to have an email address of the account/Microsoft. Now Microsoft have got there hands on it looks like it is no longer the case

Granddaughter, 7 years old, I would like to be able to talk to her grandmother using his own account, is not that of the parents.  Don't want a Microsoft account or e-mail account. Skype can be created without the need to register for Microsoft email account/address?

Since it is now necessary to have a microsoft e-mail address/account, why do you want to ask if it could be done without it? No it can't.

  • I can't use my Skype account ordinary.

    Hello. I just installed Skype on my phone, I have asked me to connect to a Microsoft that I did, and then he asked me if I had a regular Skype account, which I do, but I was not at home and that he could not remember the details of connection, so I said no and just proceeded with the Microsoft account. Now I'm home and I'm not able to connect to a regular account, it does not ask again once you said no. I tried to reinstall the software, it didn't work.

    So, how can I connect to my regular account? This stupid Microsoft account does not have my contacts and threw a bunch of "people I could now" in my phone, which I know that half. I just want to use my Skype, why I can't?

  • Skype account exposes my e-mail or mobile phone number

    When I create a new Skype account, I have to use my cell phone or my email address, which then become my Skype name. This means that my e-mail or telephone would be exposed to my contacts. Let's say I want to use Skype to support, and I don't want the visitors I spammed with emails or calls? And I can't stop them because I can't hide my phone/email, because now it's my Skype name.

    Did I get all inclusive?

    You can create a new Skype account with a Skype name of your choice using this form:

  • Skype account and not Microsoft-account

    Hello

    I would like to create a Skype account and not a Microsoft account.

    Three weeks ago, which was still possible to create a Skype account, but now it seems that I have to create a Microsoft account.

    Is there a way to always create just a Skype account without having to create a Microsoft account?

    Thank you very much!

  • How can recover my Skype account when the customer service is not response yet in 24 hours?

    Dear friend,

    I can not connect to my Skype account, but I changed the password. I contacted Skype customer service and signed a form. The customer service said I would reply with 24 hours. But I still don't respond after a day still.

    I'm really worried. I don't know how long it will take to recover my account. I always use the email that I use to record the Skype account. But I remember the memory register information.

    What should I do? Just wait? I need my Skype account to communicate with my clients. I can lose my job if I lose my Skype account. Please, a good man trying to help me.

    Thank you very much. I hope you all the best.

    Aaron

    God bless you. Skype customer service are very nice. They helped me recover my account. All hope so be patience with these Gentiles. Good luck.

  • Re: Need help to separate Skype account blocked

    I have this problem and it is quite ridiculous and very frustrating. My wife was using an old account of Skype that I linked to his new xbox live ID a couple of years. No problem at all for 2 years and then last week, as the Skype account was suddenly suspended. His only use of Skype is to talk to his mother abroad each week, so I tried to fix it for her.

    I filled out the form but no matter what info I get I get just an email two days later saying my data is not good enough on behalf of output. They suggested that I have create a new account and link this one instead. The problem is that I need to connect to the suspension Skype account on skype.com to untie and forcing me to use perfectly valid MS account my wife to do. This redirects to the Skype account recovery page and this circle completely stupid of pain comes to an end. I need to recover an account that I am not allowed to recover just if he can UNTIE a valid PAY XBOX LIVE GOLD account! This is beyond stupid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    The appropriate design would allow me to control the Skype done to dissociate from the normal ms account administration pages. This account is - once again - very well. I don't know yet why the Skype account was suspended after 2 years of valid use on xbox it anyway. We do not know what magical details, let Skype admins remove the suspension. I could not even connect to make this post using the account of my wife because it redirects to the recovery page, lol. I am connected using my normal personal gold account. Skype account ID my wife is [private information removed by Moderator] , just in case the admins read this and have mercy on us.

    I don't have access to the old account. I'm perfectly willing to create a new and a link to account however valid to my wife. Please help, because management refuses to do anything.

  • Problems with my Skype account.

    Dear users of the Skype forum,
    I currently have some problems with my Skype account.
    My little brother connected through another computer on Skype, but it's also on my Skype, the message I get: "Do even more when you're on Skype" caught my attention.

    Now his friends send messages to MY Skype as well.
    Is there a way I can stop doing that, I don't want to receive messages from his friends.

    Concerning

    For the above work, you must remove your friends brothers from your contacts list as well.

    The solution to this is a technique one, social, if you use both the same computers, don't allow Skype to automatically connect (Tools > options > disable Skype on startup and Skype >, sign, and then uncheck the automatic connection).

    Your brother should then get her Skype account (or use the one there), and you will not be disturbed by his friends more.

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

    https://support.Skype.com/en/FAQ/FA12081/how-do-i-sign-in-to-Skype-for-Windows-desktop-with-my-micro...

    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.

  • My e-mail has come as a Skype account online

    "I just refused two requests contacts of people I've never heard of and stratight afterwards, I received a notification that '(mon adresse e-mail) is online. My Skype name is NOT the same as my email address and I did not put a Skype account using my e-mail address as my Skype account name. Could unwanted contacts have somehow hacked my account, even if I do not accept their request?

  • Second Skype account?

    OK, I used the forum search and never got near to know what I needed to know.

    HOW can I add a SECOND Skype 'name' - while I can "toggle" between my first (personal) account and a SECOND account (business)?

    I tried to close my account current (window) and then re - enter via Skype signin but there isn't an option to create a new account. I only gave my account view OR signature with a Microsoft account - which I do not want to use. I would like to be able to make use of both of these accounts (toggle back by signing in and out) on the same laptop.

    Is this possible and if so, why the hell not? Thanks for all your comments.

    Create new Skype account on the web:

    https://login.Skype.com/account/signup-form

    Once the account is created, you will now be able to switch between accounts using the Skype application on your computer.

    If you wish, you can also have the two accounts open at the same time:

  • Old abandoned Skype account

    I recently created a Skype account associated with my microsoft account like he told me to post a bond with her. I then separate this account from my microsoft account. I then create a new Skype account with my account microsoft even, but then I realized that my old Skype account is still there and abandoned. I can't access my old Skype account to change the details because it is not coupled with my microsoft account.

    Is there a way to link my old Skype account on my microsoft account so that I can change my details. I know what my old Skype account name (live: * 29) and I always feel like my new Skype account, but I'm too scared to separate my new Skype account with microsoft acount

  • "This Skype account is already merged.

    When I try to connect to Skype it asks me to merge my Skype account, then tells me that it is already merged and won't let me log on

    Hi, the same thing happened to me. I was really frustrated at first, then I realized that I had previously merged my Skype account with another hotmail account. So I had to separate these two, before I could connect using my NEW account of microsoft windows 8. How to unlink the account Skype and the hotmail account, if I can't connect in the first place? Well, go to the Skype website. It will allow you to connect, and it offers the possibility to separate accounts. After you remove the link, you link with the new microsoft account.
