Windows 10: The verification code sent to my email is always wrong

I have tried several times during the past few months. I need to update my account info; But whenever I get an email with a 7-digit verification code, the website says that it is wrong. I live in Iran and my account region is also set to that, so I suppose that shouldn't be the problem.

Receiving wrong verification code to verify email

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are receiving a wrong verification code for email verification, we will look into this for you. However, please reply with the following details to assist you further:

• Where exactly do you get the prompt/notification to verify the email address?
  
• How are you trying to verify the email?
  

However, you can try using other options to request the verification code i.e. requesting the code over a call or as a text to your phone number and see if that helps in resolving the issue.



For more information on troubleshooting verification codes, you can refer the section

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
