Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I also forgot the alternate email for my Microsoft account?
If you no longer have access to your alternate email, you will need to rely heavily on providing accurate billing details, physical addresses, and associated phone numbers directly to Microsoft Support to prove your identity and ownership of the Visio subscription.
Will my Visio subscription be canceled automatically if I cannot log in?
No, Microsoft will continue to bill the payment method on file as long as it remains valid, even if you cannot log into the account. To cancel or manage the subscription, you must recover the account or contact your financial institution to stop the charges.
Can I find my Microsoft username in a previously installed Visio application?
Yes, if you are still logged into Visio on a desktop or laptop device, you can usually find your username by opening the application, clicking on 'File' in the top menu, and navigating to 'Account', where your user details and connected services are displayed.
