    How can I change my connected phone number when I cannot login my account?


    I have an old unused account. I got an email that Microsoft sensed abnormal activity in that account, so I tried to change my password. Then my password is wrong, the connected phone number is my old number.When I submitted my information then they sent me an email that those information are not enough to certify the possession of the account. I tried to find any contact mail or customer call center but seems Microsoft only offers automated answers. How can I solve this problem?

    :)

  2. Want to change phone number in Microsoft account

    To add a new email address or phone number as an alias:

    Sign in to Manage how you sign in to Microsoft with your Microsoft account. If you’re having issues signing in to your Microsoft account, go to Microsoft account help.

    Note

    You may be prompted to enter your Microsoft account password, or to enter a code sent to the email address or phone number listed in your account's security information. By providing this info to us, we know the request is coming from you.

    Under the Account aliases section, select either Add email or Add phone number.

    If you selected Add a phone number, go to step 5. If you selected Add email, choose whether to add:

    A new email address. Select Create a new email address and add it as an alias, and then follow the instructions.

    A non-Microsoft email address (such as an @gmail.com or @yahoo.com email address). Select Add an existing email address as a Microsoft account alias, and then select Add alias.

    After you've added the email address, you'll be asked to verify that you're the account owner:

    Select Verify next to the new alias. A message is sent to the account for verification.

    After you receive the message, select the included link to confirm that you own the account.

    If you selected Add a phone number, follow these steps:

    Select your country from the list.

    Enter the phone number you want to use, and then select Next.

    When you add a new phone number, we'll send a text message to that number to verify it. Enter the code from the text message, and then select Next.

  3. Change account phone number

    Hello SeanPR11,

    I am Jaspreet Singh.

    Please use the steps listed here and first remove all your security information. (this will take 30 days after which you will be able to add new phone number without being required a code first)

    Follow the steps under the title "Remove Security information" on this link : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

    * There is no way to fast track this 30 day process.

    Hi,

    Phone number is one of your security info, which is only used to verify your identity if you're accessing sensitive personal information or if we detect a problem with your account.

      Security basics
      page and sign in with your Microsoft account.
    • Select Update info.
    • Select Add security info. then follow the instructions to enter your email or phone number.
    • We'll send a security code to that new email or phone number. Enter that security code, and press
      Next. Your new security info will appear in you list.
