The verification code doesn't arrive in my Outlook.

Wait for a While:
In some cases, there might be a delay in receiving the verification code. Wait for a few minutes to see if the code arrives.

Hi Volta, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

Volta, the causes why you do not receive a verification code are due to many reasons, so I invite you to check the official link below https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil... once there, try each of the options and solutions available for each scenario. It is very likely that you will eventually have to try the account recovery method https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2249659

Hi, Matt Guglielmi.

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.



From your description, I understand that when you open the Minecraft launcher, it prompts that a code will be sent to your email, but when you send it, it prompts that the code does not work. I understand your confusion about this problem.



First of all, it is commendable that you can try to solve the problem by yourself through the solutions you mentioned.

Maybe other users can troubleshoot according to the solutions you have tried when they encounter similar problems. Here, please allow me to express my gratitude to you.



Make sure your computer's date and time settings are correct. If the system date and time are inaccurate, it may cause the verification code to not work properly.

Go to the "Date and Time Settings" of the operating system to check whether it matches the actual time, especially whether the time zone is correct.



You can try to clear the cached data of the Minecraft launcher and Microsoft account. The specific steps are as follows:

Open the Minecraft launcher settings and find the "Account" settings, and log out of the current account.

Delete the cache files of the Minecraft launcher, which can usually be found in the AppData folder.

C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft.

Then, restart Minecraft and try to log in again.

Because the Minecraft launcher usually interacts with Microsoft accounts and browsers, the browser's cache and cookies may affect the reception of the verification code.

After clearing the browser cache, restart the Minecraft launcher to see if it solves the problem.

Hi, ChrisAplin1. I’m Arturo, and I’ll be glad to provide some assistance with your inquiry.

Does the Activision account the one with two-step verification, or is two-step verification asked when you want to access to your outlook inbox?
