Recovering a hacked Microsoft account involves verifying your identity and securing your information. Begin by going to Microsoft’s official recovery page. Enter your account email and follow the steps to verify using your recovery email, phone, or authenticator app. If you no longer have access to those methods, select “I don’t have any of these” and fill out the recovery form with as much detail as possible.
Information such as old passwords, recently sent emails, or payment history helps Microsoft confirm ownership. After submission, you’ll receive an email with instructions if your identity is verified. Once access is restored, update your password and review your account’s sign-in activity for any suspicious actions.
Enable two-step verification to add an extra layer of security. Also, update your recovery options to prevent future hacks. Avoid using public Wi-Fi and always log out from shared devices to keep your account safe.
