Windows 10: Microsoft account SMS Verification

i have a problem with microsofts account verification on my computer. i tried to access it today and it says my login PIN has an issue and to change it i have to login to my account. i did so and i came to the point to verify my account where i entered my phone number and waited for code to be sent. i check my phone and its not sent. i checked if i entered the correct phone number and it was correct. i tried to add my recovery email to see if the issue will be sorted but it says it will be updated in 30 days yet i need to use my computer today. is there a way to fix this problem??

Why won't Microsoft send verification SMS?

Hi Christopher3383，

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your Microsoft account verification.



There are a few possible reasons why you're not receiving the verification code via SMS, such as network issues, phone settings, or account settings. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the problem:



- Check if your phone number is correct and has the right country code. You can do this by going to the [Set up text messaging as your verification method - Microsoft Support] and selecting Phone from the list of methods.

- Check if your phone has a good signal and can receive other text messages. You may also try restarting your phone or using a different device if possible.

- Check if your phone has any settings that block texts from unknown numbers or filter them as spam. You may need to change these settings or check your spam folder for the verification code.

- Check if your account has any security settings that prevent you from receiving verification codes via SMS, such as two-step verification or conditional access policies.

- If the above methods don't work, you can also try contacting Microsoft support who can assist you in accessing your account. Contact - Microsoft Support



If you are still unable to restore your account, you can temporarily skip logging in to your Microsoft account. When prompted to log in with a Microsoft account, enter no@thankyou.com for the account and enter the password as you like, and then you can use your local account to log in to the desktop.

If none of these steps work, you may have to wait for the alternate verification process to complete using your backup email address. I understand that this is frustrating, but it is a security measure to protect your account from unauthorized access. I hope you can access your account soon.

Your Sincerely
