    Get emailed 6 digit code but password rest asks for 7 digit code.


    While resetting my passowrd on windows 11, I enter my email address to send a code to reset password. The code sent is 6 digits. The passowrd reset on windows 11 asks for 7 digits. I know this was asked in January but it appears to be BACK.

    Why send a 6 digit code but demand a 7 digit code?

    I'm trying to reset the password on my laptop cause for some reason my pin is invalid and I keep getting 5 digit verification codes but then I keep getting told I need 7 digit codes.

    SEND ME THE 7 DIGIT CODE THEN

    WHAT IS THE POINT OF SENDING THE 6 DIGIT CODE

    7 digits code required to resetting MS account password but the MS keep on texting me a 6 digit code

    Try to setup the new Dell laptop with Windows 11 recently, during the startup, one of the setup process is to use my MS account to synchronize all the devices under this account. it requires both my email address and password to authenticate. Since I forgot my email (hotmail) password, click forgot password link, I chose the MS to text me the authentication code. it kept on sending me a 6 digit code, but the Windows 11 setup process asking me to put in a 7 digit code and fail to authenticate the password resetting process. There is no other way to out of this step, so I am left with a no working computer if I can not pass this step. Tried several times and it maxed out. tell me to request again the next day. I am not optimistic the next day will send me a 7 digit code as requested, searched this topic but could not find any solutions, Anyone knows how to fix this?
