    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!
