    How do I change my phone number associated with my Microsoft account security?


    I have a new number and I want my old number removed, but there is no Edit or options to do that where my old number is in my Secuity options. Everything I have checked about it still does not tell me how to edit. There is no edit or remove unless I completely remove my email and everything. HELP

    :)

    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.
    To change the phone number associated with your Microsoft account, we recommend to follow the steps below:

    • First, go to the
      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.

    Check this
    link     for Security info & security codes.
