Hello,
I recently started receiving a single-use code multiple times a day since 21/8 without requesting it as I already know my password. Surprisingly, upon checking my email, there are no unfamiliar login IPs recorded. While I can access my email account and change the password, I'm concerned about the possibility of being hacked or my account being misused for unlawful activities. I am unsure if there are additional security measures I can take to prevent unauthorized access to my email account. Any advice on how to enhance the safety of my email would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,
I'm having trouble accessing my hotmail account. The backup email linked to it is a yahoo account, and I'm being prompted to enter a verification code sent to my hotmail, but I can't access either.

This was my first email and I can't remember the password. I have all the necessary information to recover it and prove that it belongs to me. However, when I try to use the Microsoft form, even though I answer all the system's questions, it says I can't obtain the password reset. This email has no economic value, but it contains messages from my childhood that I would like to recover.

I am trying to update my phone number but have been unsuccessful. When attempting to sign in, I receive a notification stating that my security info change is pending. On 9/20/[redacted], I requested to replace my phone number ending in 25 with an alternate email address li*****@hotmail.com. The update is set to take place on 10/20/[redacted] after a 30-day waiting period. Even though the change is pending, I can still access my Microsoft account as usual during this time. If this request was not initiated by me, please let me know. Additionally, there is an option to cancel the security info change request if I prefer to retain my current details.

I am experiencing difficulty changing my phone number. Recently, I encountered a hacker situation, which has been resolved. However, I am unable to access my inbox. Every time I attempt to sign in, I receive a message stating: "Your security info change is still pending. On 9/20/[redacted], you requested that your security info be replaced. Current security info Phone number ending in 25 New security info Alternate email: li*****@hotmail.com Your security info will be replaced after 30 days, on 10/20/[redacted]. But don't worry, during the waiting period you can still sign in and use your Microsoft account normally. If you didn't request this, let us know. If you'd like to keep your current security info, you can cancel this request." I need to update my phone number and cancel this pending request.

Hello, I have been unable to access my Hotmail account for months because they asked me security questions to verify my identity. I don't remember the answers as I haven't used my Hotmail in a while, only to sign up for things, not to send emails. They requested information like email subjects and recent emails sent, which I can't recall. I created my Hotmail account a long time ago, and now I can't open my professional accounts linked to this email. Please help.

Hello,
I've been logged into my Hotmail on my iPhone for a while, but it suddenly asked for my password and then locked my account when I tried to enter it. Now, to reset my password, it's asking to send a code to an old number from 5 years ago. I have submitted a form 6 times with all the correct information, but it's not enough. I'm at a loss for what else to do. I really need access to my emails. Can anyone assist me with this issue?
