✳️ Microsoft doesn't know your Outlook.com password. Honest. That makes recovering it without changing it challenging.
✳️ Recovering your existing Outlook.com password
Microsoft doesn’t store your Outlook.com password, so it’s impossible to retrieve it from them. You may get lucky if you check your password manager or browser’s saved passwords.

Write it down, put it in a safe place. Physical paper, word doc on a usb, etc. Then you can "recover" that. 😁

That's exactly what I do, though I don't do the full password. Just enough to know what capitalized letters are used, any symbols and numbers, otherwise, it's asterisks for the missing sections. However, need to clean it out and get rid of cruft/old accounts and move it to Excel.

@@johnhpalmer6098 Good idea. Sometimes a partial reminder is enough.

I change my outlook password, but when I go to my email on my phone it is asking for exchange password. How do I recover or change exchange password?

Resetting the password with Microsoft maybe an impossible task, as they ask for actual content of emails sent, which without having access to it, it is impossible to provide. I have this unfortunate experience when trying to reset the password in outlook, in spite of having all the posed questions correctly replied, so the account and many emails are forever lost, which is regrettable.

I'm in the same boat got blocked from my account due to suspicious log in whilst on holiday in Asia and can't recall the last emails I sent so a twenty-five-year account gone now the hassle of having to inform every contact of my new email which isn't an outlook one.

Yep, I knew that. I wish I could recover my old Hotmail password, but I no longer have the recovery e-mail account and I can't fool Microsoft's stupid web form.
