Hello,
currently i have seen that my TechNet history has been lost. My old Account is https://social.technet.microsoft.com/profile/steffen%20brendler/?ws=usercard-mini
the active Account is https://social.technet.microsoft.com/profile/steffen_brendler/
Is it possible to merge both accounts , new and old ?
Regard Steffen

I don't believe accounts can be merged. If you cannot login with your old account, perhaps seek assistance here:

When you create an MSDN forums profile it is associated to a microsoft account. The microsoft account is only used for the authentication method. You might be able to reset the password for your microsoft account here. MSDN / TechNet profiles cannot be merged.

If you can't sign in then I'd work through this one or also chat / email support using the links at page bottom.
