Microsoft security problem

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I would suggest you to follow the steps under ‘Update security info’ in ‘Microsoft
account security info & security codes’.

Disclaimer: If you remove all your security info, there's a 30-day wait period during which we help protect sensitive parts of your account, so nobody can change your security settings or use your payment options.
During this period, new security info can't be added but you can still use your email, Skype, OneDrive, and devices as usual. After the 30 days, you'll be notified that the wait is over and it's time to enter new security info.

Hope it helps.

Microsoft account - Are security questions removed after I enabled the 2-step verification?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand your concern in this regard.

Generally, a security question is helpful to recover your Microsoft account password, when you lose access to it. Enabling Two-step verification won't effect your security question, instead it is an advanced security feature that makes it harder for someone
to break in to your account with just a stolen password. To replace your security info

• 
  Go to
  Security settings, and sign in with your Microsoft account.
  
• 
  If you’re asked to enter a security code to continue, and you can’t get that code, choose
  I don't have any of these or I can't verify my account from the drop-down list, then follow the instructions to reset your security info.
  
• 
  On the Security settings page, your security info is under Security info helps keep your account secure. Choose
  Remove for any you want to remove. You may be prompted to add new security info before you can remove the old info.
  

If you remove all of your security info, there’s a 30-day wait during which we help protect sensitive parts of your account so nobody can change your security settings or use your payment options. During this period you can still use your email, Skype,
OneDrive, and devices as usual. After the 30 days, you’ll be notified that the wait is over and it’s time to enter new security info.

How to change password for login without verifying security info?.

Hi Samuwella,

Sorry for the loss, not to worry we will try our best to assist you with the issue you are facing with Windows 10 account security.

Lets follow the below steps to fix the issue with Windows 10.

1. We Suggest you to refer to the below article on "Get back into your Microsoft account if it's been compromised".
How to recover a hacked or compromised Microsoft account

2. Also refer to the below article on "How do I replace my security info"?
Microsoft account security info & verification codes

3. Two-step verification helps protect you by making it more difficult for someone else to sign in to your Microsoft account. It uses two different forms of identity: your password, and a contact method (also known as security
info). Even if someone else finds your password, they'll be stopped if they don't have access to your security info.
