Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

Outlook asking cellphone number

It is part of their security system. So if your account is compromised they can send a text to your cellphone with a code to verify your identity. It is part of their 2 step verification, supposedly you can enter an alternate email address instead of a cellphone number. You have to click like you are going to enter a cell phone, and on the page to enter your number there is an option to enter an alternate email instead.

If that doesn't work try this:

Click your name or picture in the top Outlook.com navigation bar.
Select Account settings from the menu that has appeared.
If you are prompted for a password:
Type your Outlook.com password over Password.
Click Sign in.
Open the Security info category under Overview.
Click Help us protect your account.
Choose whether you want to add a phone number or alternate email address under Help us protect your account.
Enter the email address or phone number (making sure the country code is set correctly and does not appear in the phone number itself).
Click Next.
Look for and open an email from "Microsoft account team " with the subject "Microsoft account security code" at the email address you selected or a call or text message from Microsoft.
If you received the code by email:
Highlight and copy the verification code in the message.
Paste the code over Code back at Help us protect your account.
