Windows 10: Why wont microsoft send the code to my gmail.

So I was trying to update my computer gmail to my newer one and while trying to figure it out i put my phone number as new security information which I didn't mean to do, I have been trying to cancel it but when I try it gives me the option on how to receive my code and it says my alternate email is this one im using right now but when I put it in as what email to send the code to, I never get sent the code, this one is the only account i have that even begins with the letters but for some reason I never get sent the code?? I checked every inbox that it could have been sent to by mistake

:)

 

Microsoft does not send code to Gmail

My Huawei BookMate does not recognize fingerprint and PIN.

My recovery mail sends me to my GMail Account to receive the identity code. But Microsoft does not send codes to GMail. Code not in Spam or anywhere else.

Settings say I cannot change the GMail.

How to solve the problem?

Thank you.

 

gmail problem

Hi
I have several gmail accounts and can sign into Chrome with each except for one.
When I attempt to sign in with the problem account it tells me that the password is incorrect.
Using Gmail's account recovery & 2 factor authentication gmail sends a verification code to my phone (which I receive).
The next step is to enter the verification code into account recovery which it accepts.
It then states that it will send a code to my recovery email address.
However, I don't receive the email.
I've attempted using a different recovery email address with no luck.
Now the email account is working since it receives (& sends) emails daily (vial Mailbird).
It's just not possible to sign into Chrome with it.
Any suggestions?

Thanks. Yup, I tried those. I never use the browser to save passwords - use Lastpass. It only has the incorrect password listed.
According to gmail the password was changed 7 months ago.
What is frustrating is that although I use two factor authentification & although the phone number is correct (I receive a text with the code) & the recovery email address is valid, gmail does not send me the reset email. I checked the spam list etc but no joy.
As I say, the email is working - I receive mail to it & can send from it. It's working on both Desktop PC & tablet.
Hey Ho, I'll just have to work round it, remove any accounts associated with it & eventually get rid.
Thanks for your suggestions.
