Now on to the second step, resetting the password in Outlook. If you can’t remember and don’t have access to the information Verizon needs to reset your password, then your only recourse is to call Verizon and deal with the interminably annoying voice system and their abysmal customer service in the hopes of getting someone who will help you. While many people write this down, I prefer a password manager program like LastPass.
Please make a note of the password you just created, as well as the secret question and answer (if you got that option). Then create a new password (entering it in twice) and click the Finish button.

Answer the phone, note the code you are given and type it into the field on the website.Most likely it’ll offer a choice to call you with a temporary password to the registered phone number. Follow the instructions on the next page.visit, type in your Verizon account username and billing zipcode, then click the red Continue button.Reset your Verizon email password, you’re going to need some information, your Verizon account username (which may not be the same as your email address), your billing zip code, and potentially the answer to a secret question or access to the phone that’s listed on your Verizon account setup for notifications and password-recovery: So to fix this you need to first reset your password on the Verizon website, and second reset the password in your Outlook email account. Forget your password and you can’t use the online service (e.g., email) till you remember it, or (thankfully!) reset the password. Lose your car keys and you can’t drive till you find them. I should also mention here that username and password combinations are the online equivalent of the keys to your car. As an unfortunate side-effect in Windows, you get no warning when this box pops up, the box’s password field is ready to be edited, and if you happened to be typing on some other window when the box popped up, you might have overwritten the password that was there. I should note that Verizon’s email service is experiencing hiccups over the last few days, which may be why that box popped up on your screen.

Of course I don’t remember the password, can you tell me how to reset it? Any help or clues would be welcomed and appreciated.Hi Chris, all the sudden my Verizon email isn’t working, Outlook is showing me a box with the server, username and password. I was thinking of toggling between the various settings but I am also wondering if either WP 8.1 or Verizon on the back-end is throttling back my ability to download data? What I see on the account is a partially downloaded image with a small text message at the bottom of the email saying "downloading" but nothing else comes through unless I do a soft reset and that doesn't always work. I wonder if it has something to do with being on Verizon Fios wifi here at home? Obviously I am in over my head as to how or which settings control on the 1520. At home I have Verizon Fios, so Verizon seems to recommend different email settings than with their old-timey DSL service. I have a second Verizon pop3 email account which is predominantly only text emails that is operating fine with the same settings as the problematic account, which includes emails with images, etc. I have fooled around with the advanced settings and deleted and reinstalled the account, but I still can't clear it. I've recently had persistent syncing problems with one of my Verizon pop3 mail accounts on my 1520 (Cyan).
