  1. Microsoft not sending verification code


    Following an update to one machine I had to set up a new PIN. Can't do that without a code. Microsoft say code sent. Code doesn't arrive. Can't change or add an email via another device without a code. Microsoft say code sent. Code doesn't arrive.Changing the PIN on the working machine doesn't help with the other. Email is working and the email isn't going into junk or spam.So - I can change PINs and passwords on one device but can't do anything that would help me with a PIN for the other machine without a code. Microsoft say code sent. Which doesn't arrive.

    If you have enabled two step verification in the Microsoft account. You’ll get a security code to your email, phone, or authenticator app every time you sign in on a device that isn't trusted.

    Two-Step Verification notifications no longer work after using code

    I had to log into my MS account one time without my two-factor device being online, so used the "I have a code" method (which, incidentally, takes more steps than it should). Now every MS login defaults to the code method, and when I click "Send an identity verification request to my Microsoft Authenticator app", it never sends the request. How do I re-enable the automatic Approve/Deny two-factor verification notifications?
