i want to know my email password.

It is not saved on my wallet unlike every other password.

I can't access my email on my phone because it asked me for the password and as I couldn't remember it, it locked me out. When i try to reset it, it refused to allow me saying it couldn't send a code right now and i'm completely stuck as 'right now' apparently is forever.

This should be accessible. It seems utterly bizarre. Even if you enter password in the settings search box, it just comes up blank - nothing meets your search criteria.

Dear green tara1

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.

First of all, I would like to ask you if you need to access the emails from Outlook/Hotmail, or third party emails like Gmail/Yahoo.

Usually if you have entered the correct password on your phone, then Android and IOS will have other solutions to investigate the password stored on the system. For example, in IOS you can use a keychain to find out what password you have previously entered, as long as you know the unlock code for your phone.

If you use Outlook/Hotmail, many community users have recently reported similar issues to yours. This may be due to a temporary problem with the Sent Code Server, so you can try another time on a different computer device.
