Windows 10: Why am I put on a waiting period for 30 days to change security details

Why am I being out on a waiting list for 30 days to change a security detail like my email in which I can secure my account. I can't access my laptop despite me entering the correct PIN several times. Now I want to use a different sign in method but I have to wait 30 days! That's rubbish. Microsoft support team hasn't gotten back to me despite me sending a number of requests to recovery my account.

30 Day Waiting Period

We moved, and I bought my wife a new Lumia 950. She was prompted to update her security info. She no longer has access to the old email so she indicated that. It blocker her with the well known "30 day waiting period." The period is supposed to end at the
end of January, 2016.

She CAN send/receive email from her computer, but she CANNOT send/receive email from her Lumia 950. It just continues to give her errors saying that she needs to fix her settings, she needs to wait 30 days, etc.

The phone is having all kind of other major issues - won't download anything (possibly because the account issue, random "low storage" errors when there is plenty of storage.

 

security 30 day period ends today still not accessible.

My 30 day waiting period for security access ends today and it still says not accessible. Is it a full 30 days from the minute to minute I changed my security info, or do I have a problem?

 

Why do I have to wait 30 days for security updates

Hi Steve,

I'm Christine, a Windows user like you.

It seems that you are facing the 30 days waiting period due to changing your security information.

30 days waiting period is one of the security features that was created by Microsoft to secure the account to hackers. During the 30 days period, you won't be able to access the privacy settings of the account but the good thing is you should be able to open your mail section by going to https://outlook.com

For more information about 30 days waiting period and how to cancel it, please check the link below:
