  3. Microsoft account is a combination of email address and password which is used to access various Microsoft services such as Outlook, Skype, Word and much more. One can easily access their Microsoft account to access these services. But troubles come when users forgot their password. If you have forgotten your Microsoft account password you can simply recover your passport or change your password using the two-step verification process. Microsoft’s two-step verification process is an optional additional security level which can be activated, making it difficult for any other person to use your account without authorization.
