    A Microsoft account can have multiple sign-in aliases, including another email address, but separate Microsoft accounts cannot be merged.

    To add another email address to the same Microsoft account:

    1. Sign in to the how you sign in page.
    2. Select Add email.
    3. Follow the prompts to add the other address as an alias.

    Use this page: Edit account info

    Important details:

    • A new Outlook.com address can be created and attached to the existing Microsoft account.
    • An email address from another provider can also be added.
    • An organization may restrict adding its email addresses.
    • Gmail credentials cannot be used to sign in to a Microsoft account, though a Gmail address can be added as a way to prove identity.

    If the mindsilike.com address is not accepted, that can be due to organization restrictions.

    If sign-in is failing now, use account recovery:

    1. Open Recover your account.
    2. Enter the email address, phone number, or Skype name used to sign in.
    3. Choose where to receive the security code.
    4. Enter the code and reset the password.

    Recovery page: Recover your account

    If the account is blocked because of unusual sign-in activity or too many failed attempts, use the sign-in troubleshooter or the unblock guidance.

    Hi @Alethia Cadore,

    To better understand what's happening and help narrow down the cause, could you please clarify a few points?

    • When you say you are unable to log into the account, what exactly happens when you try to sign in? Do you receive any error message or error code? If so, please share the exact message (or a screenshot with any personal information removed).
    • Could you also confirm whether the @mindsilike.com account is a Microsoft 365 business account managed by your organization? If so, are you an end user of the organization, or do you have administrator access to the Microsoft 365 tenant?
    • When you mentioned "Can you add both emails?", could you please clarify what you are trying to accomplish? Are you looking to add both the @hotmail.com and @mindsilike.com accounts to the same Outlook profile, add one address as an alternate/recovery email for the other account, or are you referring to something else?
    • Could you also let me know whether you're able to sign in to other Microsoft 365 applications using the @mindsilike.com account?

    The additional information above will help clarify the scenario and allow me to recommend the most appropriate troubleshooting steps.

    I look forward to your reply.
