Question asked on Aug 9, 2013

Now that the  (insert appropriate adjective here) people at Microsoft have ended account linking, is there a way to actually merge my 2 accounts?

 

I set up the workaround when they first announced that they would end linking, and all emails to this address (with which I am posting) are forwarded to my main account, however, I have a terrible memory and am highly likely to forget the password to this account. I would like to merge it with my main and not lose what is in it. Is there a way to convert a second account into an alias?

If not, why the *** not? We do not all have perfect memories and I NEVER save passwords because that guarantees that I will forget them but as I only ever log into this account rarely I WILL forget the password sooner or later (probably sooner as I had trouble getting into it today).

 

Microsoft, YOU caused this problem, now please give me a solution. I do not want to lose this account again if I lose track of time and forget to log into it once a year.

 

Thank you.
