I can’t fix it and Skype don’t reply to my emails. I can’t disassociate the Skype names, I can’t ban signups on the address, and the website is fundamentally broken for email addresses with multiple associated names. Idiots with my name sign up for Skype accounts, forget the passwords and/or names, and then my inbox gets spammed with their recovery tokens while they fail to fathom why the tokens don’t go to their actual email address. This has created an arms race for me, being the owner of a rare and somewhat popular _ email address. If you ask for a ‘I forgot my Skype name’ reminder, only the latest registered name is sent to the email address. You can remove a name and associated details from public listing, but you can’t permanently delete it. That’d be OK if you could unlink the names, but you can’t. No verification required, just instant attachment to the email address. Sign up for Skype using any email address and regardless of whether the email address is yours, the Skype ’name’ you chose is linked to it.
