How to Create Microsoft Account Aliases

This post explains how to create an account alias to sign in to devices with your Microsft account.

A Microsoft account is what you use to access many Microsoft devices and services, including signing into Skype, Outlook.com, OneDrive, and more.

After you create a Microsoft account, you can change your account name, reset your password, manage devices in your account, and more.

Email addresses and phone numbers associated with your Microsoft account are called aliases, and they use the same contacts, online storage, subscriptions, and account settings. 

Users can create account aliases with their Microsoft accounts. Microsoft allows you to use multiple aliases that you can use with Outlook.com, Skype, OneDrive, Office, Xbox, Windows, and more.

Aliases you create share the same password you use to sign into your devices.

Add, remove, or phone number for your Microsoft account

As mentioned above, users with Microsoft accounts create multiple aliases to use multiple aliases with Microsoft services such as Outlook.com, Skype, OneDrive, Office, Xbox, Windows, and more.

All the aliases you create share the same password for your Microsoft account.
