Windows 10: Microsoft won't send me verification code emails

Hello,When I ask for Microsoft to send me an email with the code I need to input to verify it's me, the email just won't arrive.It happens wether I want to sign in on microsoft.com or Xbox, or when I want to change my password or other information on my account.I was locked out of my Microsoft account until I finally remembered my password, since I couldn't log in with a code, and now I still can't change my password. I have checked my spam folder and it's empty.Other emails from Microsoft that are not verification codes are recieved correctly.I can still get verification emails to my other Mi

:)

 

Verification Code Email Will Not Send to Gmail

My Computer recently updated and wants me to reset my pin. I connect myself to the internet, and go through the steps to set it up. I enter the correct password to my account and then it says that it needs to verify with my secondary email. I enter my email correctly (I checked it multiple times), and then it says that it sent the code to my email and to enter the code I received. The problem is, I never receive the email. My secondary email is a gmail, so it is not a microsoft one. I have gone through this process multiple times and I have not received a code at all. I thought that if I signed in on another device that I could get the code to go through, no such luck. I even signed into my gmail account on a different device, and it is not there either. I have cleared my cache, and cookies on my browser. I have checked my spam folder and my promotions folder, no verification code email. In an attempt to go in a roundabout way to fix the issue, I was able to log on with a different device to my microsoft account and added my phone number as an option to send verification codes to. Now it says that this will not process until a month later, and when I try to go through the process to reset my pin on my computer, I enter the password for the account, then it says that my security info change is till pending and won't let me do anything else. I can not cancel the request because it requires a verification code from the gmail account that it won't send an email to. I can't figure out any more that I can do to get my code and why the email is not being sent to my gmail. I have been able to recieve codes before when I was first setting up my computer, so I don't understand why it is doing this now. If I could maybe get a one time verification code to log in, that would be great.

 

Microsoft not sending verification code to email

I've yet to see a solution to my problem.

I actually went to try and update my security info on my account which requires a second verification (after already having logged in with my password), so I chose to send to my email, not my hotmail for some reason, but another email. Which is fine, but
once I choose that option, and verify what that email address is, the verification code never actually comes--not to my inbox, and not to my junk mail. I tried using Edge browser (on my surface laptop operating on windows 10) to login which makes no difference.

What is going on???

 

Verify identity asks me to confirm backup email instead of sending verification code

My Microsoft account wants me to verify my identity by sending a verification code to my backup email.

Fine. Send the code, I'll access the backup email and get the code

But no, instead it asks me to enter my backup email. Why? This is phishing for information.

Microsoft already knows my backup email. I know it. Why won't it just email the verification code?
