Windows 10: Verification code is not getting and it was not showing alternative ways to sign in

We couldn't send a code to your email at this time. Try again later.I don't have different ways to sign in option .Just verification can be done through a code which is received via code for that mail .So , please tell me how can I sign in.

:)

 

I am continually being asked for a verification code.

I am continually being asked for a verification code. I can see it has to do with the two step verification process and I can't get to the page to turn it off. I have only one way of accessing the internet and the second step verification is sent to an
alternate email address. This requires that I log off one email address, in order to access the other. It is a loop. Please tell me how to fix it or fix it on your end.

 

Not getting verification code what can I do?

Hello Dhruva,

I see you've already followed some steps.

I was reading your answers and I have a suggestion for you.

I once tried to get a verification code on my phone and it said the code was sent but I never received it.

I updated the messaging app and it still didn't help.

I followed some other steps and it didn't help.

My only solution was to remove my SIM Card and put it in another old phone that I no longer used and asked to resend the code and then the verification code arrived perfectly.

This might be a solution for you.

Daniel.

 

Cannot get verification code

Hello Tim,

We would like to confirm if you are trying to update your Microsoft account information. Security info is an alternate email address or phone number that you add to your account. If you forget your password, or if someone else is trying to take over
your account, we send a security code to that alternate email or phone number. When you give the code back to us, we know that you’re really you and we can get you back into your Microsoft account.

There are a number of possible explanations for why security codes don't always arrive. Read through this list of the most common causes, and see if any of them apply to you.

• Does your phone block calls or texts from unknown numbers?
  
  If so, change your phone settings then choose I don’t have a code. We’ll send another security code.
• Did your email send your security code to your junk folder?
  
  Check your junk folder for a message from Microsoft account, and use the code you find there. To prevent this from happening in the future, mark Microsoft as a trusted sender. Valid security codes come from an @accountprotection.microsoft.com email address.
• Is your phone number or email address entered correctly?
  
  To keep your information safe when you're signing in, we only show you the last two digits of your phone number or the first two characters of your email address. You can check to see if your security info is correct by going to the Security
  basics page, signing in with your Microsoft account, and selecting Update info. You may need to enter a security code to get to this page. Choose a method that you know works, or choose I
  don't have any of these to reset your security info.
• Does your alternate email address end in @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, @live.com, or @msn.com?
  
  If so, you’re using one Microsoft account to verify another Microsoft account. This can make it tricky to keep track of which one you’re signed in to. When you sign in to the second account (to get the code sent to that address), most browsers automatically
  sign you out of the first account (the one that's actually requesting the code).
  
  
  • To get your security code, sign in to the second account with a browser in privacy mode. This lets you stay signed in to both accounts at the same time.
  • When you're prompted to enter the security code that was sent to your alternate email address, don't close the browser window.
  • Open a new window in privacy mode. Ctrl + Shift + P is the shortcut for InPrivate Browsing in Internet Explorer and Edge.
    If you're using a different browser, check that browser's help for info about privacy mode.
  • In the new window, sign in to your alternate email account and look for the message from the Microsoft account team. Copy or write down the security code from the message.
  • Return to the window that is asking you for the security code. Enter the code and follow the instructions.

Please post back with the status of the issue. We will be glad to assist you further.
