For the past few days, I have tried to log into my hotmail account.  At first it said I was using the wrong password, impossible as I am entering of my hotmail info folder.  Anyway, I then clicked on forgot password, what harm could there be right?  I am then taken to a questionnaire that requests that I provide more personal information than I am prepared to.  I do not want to share past passwords, date of birth, anything which can be used to do me harm.  There surely has to be a safer/more secure way.  It asks to allow me receive a code via text, but I have no clue, idea what telephone number I had when I opened this account... cannot change it to my current one as I cannot log in.  and now after trying to reset my password, made this alias account (as I would not want to lose my original acct) still nothing.
