Hotmail is a free web-based email service that users can access from any Internet browser from anywhere in the world. In 1997, Microsoft acquired Hotmail from its founders and the software giant renewed it and changed its name to Outlook.com in August 2012. The online email service has undergone multiple changes in the last 10 years. When it was first launched, a free account offered spam filters, virus detection and 250 Mb of storage space. After several updates, Hotmail users can now access their email accounts on their mobile devices, unlimited free storage, integration with their social media accounts, e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc. and built-in search filter.

How to recover your Hotmail password when it is lost or forgotten?

There are several reasons why you may need to recover your password: a) someone tried to access your Hotmail account without the necessary authorization and you have been blocked, or b) you have forgotten your Hotmail account password because you have too many passwords to remember.

This is how you can recover your Hotmail password when you lose or forget:

Go to Outlook.com. Once the landing page is active, click Can’t access your account? link: must be below the Login button.

You will be transferred to Why are you having trouble logging in? window. Select the option I forgot my password and click Next.

Enter your Hotmail email in the Microsoft account field and enter the correct characters for Captcha verification. Click Next.

Select your preferred verification option. The link to the password recovery page will be sent to one of the given methods like by SMS, email to recover your Hotmail password.

If you clicked on the option, I no longer use these, you must complete a short form to recover your Hotmail password. This is basic information that will verify that you are the owner of the account.

Once you have finished, you should be able to receive a shipping confirmation window (see below):

Depending on the accuracy of your shipment, you will receive an email from Microsoft indicating the success of your request.
