Bitlocker recovery key

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern as the PC is locked with BitLocker and you are unable to retrieve the BitLocker Recovery key from your Microsoft account.



In this situation, we would first suggest you to set the PC to default BIOS settings.



If you still get the option for BitLocker recovery key, then we would suggest you to refer the below article for managing the security info on your Microsoft account and later retrieve the recovery key.

Suspicious 4 digit 'verification code'

I've noticed that I have received a four digit verification code from Microsoft. This is different to the 7 digit security code you get for security purposes. I haven't done anything to request a code.

I checked my recent account activity and didn't notice anything suspicious.

However, I got this code a few minutes after logging into my Xbox for the first time after factory reset. When I tried logging in in the setup screen it failed and I had to log in from the dashboard.

So could logging in to my Xbox one after a factory reset have caused this?

Why is it a 4 digit 'verification code' instead of the usual 7 digit 'security code'?

And why was I not required to enter a code anywhere?

Could this be a hack?

Please help!
