Microsoft account hack and support recovery dead ends, repurchase fear and mitigation

April 6, 2026r/pcgaming

In r/pcgaming, a hacked Microsoft account case escalates into support saying it cannot be recovered, prompting community advice to keep sessions active, follow recovery guides, and move accounts behind authenticator apps.

My microsoft account got hacked. Support determined that it was indeed hacked and they cant recover it. So they deleted my account and now I need to re-purchase all my games.
Don't speed into creating a new account, and try not to log out out of anywhere you might still be on.
I spent a few days putting all my accounts behind a authenticator app cuz I am not dealing with this shit again
