Hi MihaiPleava! My name is Therese, an Independent Advisor.

Please access this link https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA109/ and follow the instructions below "I forgot my user name for Skype" > Enter the email address or phone number you used to create the account.

If you see multiple accounts, I suggest checking all of them until you see the Skype account you're looking for.

What you have provided is your account's Skype Name or username: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10858/

There are 3 ways to sign in to Skype, all depends on how you created your Skype account:

1. Your old custom Skype Name (not your email address).
2. Your email address (assigned a live: or live:cid prefix alphanumeric Skype name)
3. Your phone number (assigned a live:cid prefix alphanumeric Skype name)

If you cannot recover the account from the email addresses you have access to, the account is associated with a different email or phone number.

In this case, the only way to recover your Skype account is through the account recovery form: https://account.live.com/acsr

I guess, but i am not sure, my custom Skype name was Mihai Pleava, where can i log in with something like this, because the login requires an email address or a phone number. And the link you gave has a note, that says if i have turned on 2 steps auth, this is not what i need. I just need my user name based on that guid.

I cannot provide any further information nor check your account as I don't directly work for Microsoft. But, I tried searching your account in the Skype directory and found this (see screenshot).

I suspect that the account you're trying to recover is connected with a different email address. Otherwise, you should be able to recover the account following the steps in the article.

If the email address you used to create your Skype account is no longer accessible, apparently, the recovery form is the only option left.

Based on your screenshot, what you are entering in that field is your profile name.

Please type the Skype Name you're trying to recover. If it's live:70c51f696e0fed5e then you have to put live:70c51f696e0fed5e in that field.

How about entering the email address?

Please note that if the email you will enter is not the email address you used to create the account, you will still not recover the account that way. The recovery form would be your last resort.
