Windows 10: Is there a way I can login into my microsoft account over the phone with verification?

Alexander Spencer · Apr 27, 2023

Recently my Microsoft account was hacked and everything that I could use to recover the password, the hacker changed. They changed the password to the account, email, recovery email, pin, and basically anything else you could think of he changed. I need that Microsoft account to play my video games and do schoolwork, so please help me out here. Right now I feel helpless and lost.

Unable to login to Paypal phone broken

I use an authenticator app on my phone for 2 step verification to login to paypal but my phone is broken so I can no longer get the code. I've tried using the microsoft authenticator app on another device but it's looking for a QR code to scan which I can't access since I can't login to paypal

Paypal tells me they is no way they can turn off the 2 step verification whjich means I cannot ever access my account.

There must be a way around this?

Google strengthening 2-Step Verification for Google account

What’s changing

Starting on July 7, 2020, we will make phone verification prompts the primary 2-Step Verification (2SV) method for all eligible users, unless they are already using security keys as their 2SV method of choice. This means that if you sign in to your Google account and are also signed in on a smartphone, you will be asked to follow phone prompts to verify the login attempt. This will help increase account security while making it easier to sign in.

This won’t apply if you use a security key to protect your account. You’ll also still be able to use other methods (such as a code received by text) by selecting a different method during the phone prompt verification steps.

Phone prompts verify your sign-in attempt via your smartphone

Who’s impacted

End users

Why it’s important

Phone prompts, also known as “on-device prompts,” are more secure than text or voice codes as a form of 2-Step Verification. They’re also easier to use, as they avoid requiring users to manually enter a code received on another device. By making prompts the primary method for more users, we hope to help them take advantage of the additional security without having to manually change settings—though they can still use other methods of 2-Step Verification if they prefer.

Additional details

How phone prompts work

After you enter your password to sign in to your Google Account, Google sends a "Trying to sign in?" prompt to every eligible mobile device where you’re signed in. This prompt tells you when and where your password was entered, and then asks you to confirm or block the sign-in attempt by simply tapping your mobile device. You can still select a different verification method during sign-in if one is available on your account. You’ll also stop receiving prompts on a phone if you sign out of that phone. Learn more about phone prompts.

Users with security keys are excluded from this change

Users will not have prompts as their primary 2SV method in two situations:

If an organization enforces the “Only security key” 2-Step Verification option for a user, there will be no change and the user will continue to be required to use security keys.

If a user currently has, or at any point in the future adds, a security key on their account, the security key verification will be presented as the primary method.

Additionally, if a user doesn’t have 2-Step Verification turned on, this will not apply.

Getting started

Admins: This feature will be ON by default. Admins can only disable the feature by requiring the use of security keys. Visit the Help Center to learn more about protecting your business with 2-Step Verification.

End users: This feature will be ON by default and can be disabled by the user. Visit the Help Center to learn more about signing in with 2-Step Verification.

Rollout pace

Rapid and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on July 7, 2020

Availability

Available to all G Suite customers and users with personal accounts.

Account verification when overseas

Hi Thomas,

One way I see around this is by using the Microsoft Authenticator App on another device which you could possibly bring with you. This app is very easy to use and requires you to enter a code into the app to prove it's really you. It's available on the App
Store and Google Play.

Or as you suggested there is a way to turn off two-step verification on your Microsoft account. This would make your account more vulnerable but if you're willing to take the risk then it's pretty easy. Just head over to microsoft.com and sign into your
account. Click your profile picture and select "My Microsoft Account". Now choose "Security" at the top and "More Security Options". Microsoft has a useful article on this here: How to use two-step verification with your Microsoft account - Microsoft Support
. Now follow the steps to turn off two-step verification.

Hope this helps,

Sam.
