    Cant receive verification code

    I'm experiencing difficulties in receiving verification codes from Microsoft accounts. However, I am able to receive email updates by substituting the email address with another one. The problem lies in the fact that I am unable to receive any verification codes, and I do not have any alternative phone number or email address available to receive the code.

    Did not receive the Microsoft Account Verification Code

    Hi, SHARON.

    I'm Jen, I'm also an Outlook account user just like you. I'm not working for Microsoft but I'd be happy to help you figure this out.

    I understand you're not receiving a verification code for your Microsoft account. If your security info's are up to date, you may be experiencing delays receiving the code which I have also experienced before. But if you have already waited too long and have made a couple of attempts, I suggest following the suggested steps in the "Troubleshooting verification code issues" section on the support page below.

    Feel free to share how it went.

    Kind regards.

    Verification code - I never get the code

    Hi

    Welcome to Microsoft community.

    It sounds like you're having trouble receiving the verification code needed to create a new PIN on your Windows device. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:

    Step 1: Confirm Your Phone Number

    Make sure the phone number you have registered with your Microsoft account is correct.

    1. Check Your Microsoft Account Details:
      • On another device, go to the Microsoft account security page.
      • Sign in with your Microsoft account credentials.
      • Under Security basics, check the phone number listed and ensure it is correct.
    Step 2: Troubleshoot SMS Delivery

    Sometimes messages can be delayed or blocked for various reasons. Here are a few things to try:

    1. Signal Strength:
      • Ensure you have a good signal on your phone.
    2. Check Message Blocking:
      • Make sure your phone isn't blocking messages from unknown numbers.
    3. Restart Your Phone:
      • Sometimes restarting your phone can help with receiving delayed messages.
    4. Try Another Method:
      • If SMS isn't working, try selecting an alternate method of verification (e.g., email verification).
    Step 3: Use an Alternate Email for Verification

    If you have an alternate email address linked to your Microsoft account, you can use it to receive the verification code.

    1. Request Code via Email:
      • On the verification page, select the option to receive the code via email instead of SMS.
      • Check your email inbox (and spam/junk folder) for the code.
    Step 4: Update Security Information

    If the above methods don't work, you may need to update your security information.

    1. Add a New Phone Number or Email:
      • Go to the Microsoft account security page.
      • Under Security contact info, select Add security info.
      • Add a new phone number or email address.
      • Follow the verification steps to confirm the new contact information.
    2. Request Verification Code Again:
      • Once your new contact information is verified, try requesting the verification code again.
    Step 5: Contact Microsoft Support

    If you're still not receiving the verification code, you may need to contact Microsoft Support for further assistance.

    1. Visit Microsoft Support:
    2. Explain the Issue:
      • Provide details about your issue, including the fact that you are not receiving the verification code via SMS.
    Step 6: Use a Trusted Device

    If you have previously signed into your Microsoft account on another device, you can use it to bypass the verification step.

    1. Sign In on a Trusted Device:
      • Use a device where you've successfully signed into your Microsoft account before.
      • Go to the settings and attempt to update your security information from there.
    If you continue to experience problems, contacting Microsoft Support directly will likely provide the most effective solution.

    Let me know if you need further assistance.

    Best regards
