Do you have a onetel email address? I am getting same problem, but can’t access webmail because my password seems to have been reset.

First, please remove your email address from your Community Bio.

Next, you'd have been able to use self-help password recovery if you'd set up Reset details in advance.

I'll let TalkTalk know that the password recovery options aren't available. A TalkTalk Support member will need to verify you as the registered email user and set up your password recovery alternate email address and mobile number (the Reset details) so you can send a password reset link or code to authenticate a password change.

Prepare for TalkTalk Support - include in the Community Profile (not in these public posts):

Account holder name, TalkTalk home 'phone number (if not Data Only broadband)

Alternative mobile contact number. Full address with postcode (in the Location box)

Scroll down to Private notes to add the email address needing recovery

Check and Save changes

Select here: Update your profile

A TalkTalk Support member will reply to this thread and then Community Private Message you to confirm your customer account details and or details related to the original registration of the email address.

When verified the Reset details will be set up during a working week within 24 hours allowing you to set your own password via the Forgotten your password journey. Make sure the password is ultra-strong and unique to the mailbox. Check via the TalkTalk Mail sign in that you can access the mailbox.

For a compromised mailbox I'd always suggest scanning your email devices for viruses and malware before changing any password.
Use the new password to access via the TalkTalk Mail sign in check there's no Auto forward or Filter rule diverting your mail messages.

Select the Main Settings menu icon  triple line icon top right on the blue header
(Mobile browser? use the desktop version)
Select Settings from the top of the menu
Select the inward facing arrowhead by Mail (or Email) in the left side panel
Select Filter Rules
If you see There is no rule defined then you need go no further.
To delete a Filter rule including any Auto forward
select the Dustbin icon  to the right of the rule
The icon background will turn red 
To confirm you really want to delete this Filter rule
Select the blue Delete button

Let us know if you need more guidance.

Need to rest ONETEL email address, but only reset option is to send link to same email address

stevedean — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 13:06:22 GMT

I have accessed my onetel email address for over 20 years. Talktalk took over and life continued, with a few changes, but seemed to be working.

talktalk asking me for a password to access on iPhone or iPad, and password I use doesn’t work on webmail.
if I try a password reset, the link to change can only be sent to the email address that I can’t access. This is truly a technical viscous circle!

any idea?

I have done this, but no one has replied yet to reset my password and send the reset password link to the gmail email address I have added to my profile, as you asked me to. Can someone please do this? Thanks Steve

I can see that this topic was in the TalkTalk workflow on 27th February but that nobody from TalkTalk has picked it up yet so I've pushed an escalation in to their workflow with the hope that it'll be picked up asap next week.
