    Microsoft account asks for a code?


    Hello,

    and I want to retrieve my recovery key from my Microsoft account. Under aka.ms/myrecoverykey. The problem is that I can't get to it because after logging in I am asked for a code, but I didn't get a code? And if I press I don't have a code, it says that this option is not available because of security information. I just want my recovery key, what kind of code do they expect if I don't get one?

    :)

    Every day am asked to re-enter Microsoft Account Password

    Hi,



    Thank you for your response.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    Convert Microsoft Account to Local account and restart the system and again try to convert Local account to Microsoft account and check if it helps.


    • Go to All settings.

    • Select Accounts.

    • Sign in with Local account instead and follow the on screen instructions.

    • And again change it Microsoft account.


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
