Windows 10: Hi I have been asked to use a security code for an email I don’t recognise

This was sent to my email and is not the email address shown in the picture.

Blizzard Security Code

Does anyone know where and how to get this code. Yes I have started a ticket with Blizzard about it. I just don`t see where or how to get the security code.

I got 2 different emails saying such and such tried to use my email address to login, but it was not my battle tag, since then I have not been able to log in.

I have over 80GB of Destiny 2 data I can`t even use *Mad They are going to a new platform in October, not sure if that will help me or lock me out permanently.

OK, I got the code through my google mail account (which I never use anyway) but now it`s telling me I need an authenticator.

LOL they don`t even list Destiny 2 anymore, I suppose it`s because it`s being moved and it was a Partner game anyway *Confused

Cannot restore W10 phone backup asking for security code

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I managed to access my backup after receiving a call with a code ! Wasn't expecting it so missed the first one. I also received texts but couldn't get to them whilst back up process in progress. No option to use email offered.

I do have a correct primary email address listed under Account aliases, and two other aliases however under the sign in preferences the primary one is greyed out. I have unmarked the other aliases.

I am having a few problems now setting up 2 step verification. Just received a push code to access my mail box but 2 step verification is disabled ? according to security page although the authenticator has my microsoft account listed. Confused.

Update: 2 Step is now registering as on on security page., also presume the email address is greyed out because my preference is SMS with phone number perhaps best to use email as preference ? Actually think it is greyed out as cannot opt out (uncheck) primary
email address ??

 

Use OAuth or secure mail key for email apps

I am getting the following notice about using an email which I do. I am using windows 8.1. I don't know the name of the email app that I am using. Do I need to do anything to continue getting my email? Thank you for any help that you can offer.

Access AT&T email with an email app that uses OAuth

If you’re like most people, you have email apps that let you read and manage email on your computer and mobile devices. For your security, we suggest you only use email apps with an email technology known as Open Authentication or OAuth.
OAuth encrypts your username and password to protect your info from hackers and fraudsters.

• Apple Mail
• Outlook Mobile
• Yahoo Mail app

Start setting up a new email account in your app. Your app may offer you a list of email providers that includes Yahoo. If it does, your email app is OAuth compatible. Be sure to select Yahoo as your provider. You’re all set![/td][/tr][/table]

Non-OAuth compatible email apps

• Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016
• Mozilla Thunderbird
• Windows Mail on personal computers running Windows 8 or older
• Apple Mail/Mac Mail on macOS 10.10/Yosemite or older

We suggest you switch to an email app that has OAuth. Get step-by-step instructions on how to set up or update your email account in several popular email apps, using our Troubleshoot
& Resolve Tool.



Access AT&T email through an email app using a secure mail key

If you prefer to use an email app that isn’t compatible with OAuth, you’ll have to create a special code called a secure mail key. You’ll use this secure mail key instead of your AT&T password when you set up an email app.
