  Hey @replyall here’s an interesting case for super tech support: Microsoft’s fraud management for @Skype appears to be fully automated. This makes account recovery exceedingly difficult. I wonder to what extent this is a strategic choice. Please help @danielascur!

  @JustinMac_84 I've just had to check for a latest version because my @Skype still seems to be accessible. I'm not having an issue but have heard a few people say they're struggling with keyboard navigation. I assume you've tried reloading both Skype and the screen reader?

  @WilfSplodNokit @Angua3Carrot @Skype I submitted feedback and they offered me an article to check. Trouble-shooting consisted of check internet connection, check you're signed in, check notification settings, restart skype. 🙄I've done all that, keyboard navigation definitely broken.
