My hotmail was set up a very long time ago so I don't know the pwd and the recovery methods (old phones) are no longer in use. I have a new computer and want to log into hotmail there. PWD isn't visible in pwd managers on the old computer. Can I just request and get recovery key for hot mail sent to me in hotmail so I can use it to log in on new computer?
