    Hi
    I have created outlook account and do not remember the password now.
    However I got the outlook app installed in my phone and signed in before I forgot the password.

    I tried retrieving the password from the Microsoft website, but it asks questions such as some emails recipients and subject life of past emails. Since the account is new, I have not sent any email from that account.

    Good point is I am still logged in through my phone's Outlook App and I have no clue how can I reset to a new password. App does not provide that feature. And if I try from website it first asks for old password and since I do not remember the old password it prompts for these recent email recipient and subject line questions.

    Do you have suggestions how can I reset the password from app.

    Kind regards
    A

    on your phone when you sign on is there a box that says lost password ? its below the password box after you enter your email address. from there they send you a temp password to sign on with.
