I can't get into my Yahoo or Hotmail e-mail accounts

[JonLP24]

Because that is where Facebook sent my unlock code. Yahoo sent hotmail an unlock code for my Yahoo account. I go to my hotmail account and entered the correct passwords for these sites but it's been so long. Hotmail sends an unlock code to my gmail account but it's not good enough. They ask me my life story in 4 pages (and also for my credit number strangely enough -- which I skipped). Subjects of emails. Email addresses of who I sent emails still not good enough. I receive "flagged" someone may be using your account" or something similar.

All I did was want to post 1 little ad my FB feed but it looks impossible. I never remembered being grilled so much even after entering correct passwords.

1. I literally just got this seconds ago

We recently received a request to recover your Microsoft account (redacted) Unfortunately, our automated system has determined that the information you provided was not sufficient for us to validate your account ownership. Microsoft takes the security and privacy of our customers very seriously, and our commitment to protecting your personal information requires that we take the utmost care in ensuring that you are the account owner.

We have taken the additional step of blocking your account (redacted) until we can verify you as the account owner. This will prevent any further use of the account, and protect you from any possible malicious activity.

They asked my zip code I created the account. I had the account since the early 2000s. I can't believe they say the information I provided is insfuccient. That means I can't get into Yahoo or Facebook.

3. I think you've been hacked

I abandoned my Hotmail account years ago because I could never get back into it. I had the luxury of being able to give up on it because I had a Yahoo account as my primary. But then, over the past couple of years, my Yahoo account was hacked repeatedly even though I changed my password several times. My friends were getting spam from my account fairly regularly. So I deleted that account. It no longer exists.

I now have two Gmail accounts. Seems like the best option these days.

Good luck getting everything sorted out. Sounds frustrating as hell.

4. I once went to Hotmail from Tor and it locked me out.

Facebook made me sign in and verify next time I went. I also tried to get them to look into re-opening my acct but they said they could not verify me. WTF?
