See you try to attempt privacy password for 5 6 times and as you forgot it after trying that much of times it will give you option of forget privacy password then you can either answer securtity question or reset it through email then enter the email then you are good to go.

Sorry, I need to change my security questions as I fear account compromised after a call this morning when I answered my security question but it was a scam call.  I have changed my password but can't find how to change the security questions to one that the scammers don't know. when I was looking through posts to see if someone had asked and been answered on this problem I saw one which said after adding a recovery email address you can then edit your security questions, that is what I am looking for

Hi dkgraham,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Please paraphrase this sentence. Based on the description you posted, you have an issue with Surface Pro7+ wherein you want to change the security question on your account.

To change your security questions on your Surface Pro 7+, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Go to the Microsoft account security page by visiting account.microsoft.com/security.
2. Sign into your Microsoft account.
3. Click on the "Security questions" option.
4. You will be prompted to answer your current security question. If you cannot remember it, click on the "I don't remember my answer" option.
5. Follow the prompts to verify your identity using other methods such as email or phone number.
6. Once you have verified your identity, you can then change your security questions.

Another option is to change the security question.

1. Go to Settings.
2. Click on Accounts.
3. Select Sign-in options.
4. Click on Update your security questions under the Password section.
5. Answer the security questions that you set up.
6. Enter your new password.

I hope this helps resolve your issue. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

Christopher.
