    Not receiving verification code in Outlook


    I'm attempting to log into the Microsoft Store. When I try to, I am prompted to enter in a security code that Microsoft is sending to my outlook email address. This code is not making it to the corresponding outlook inbox. It is not in my junk folder, I have checked that every possible way I can. It is not in my regular inbox, be it Focused or Other. I have emptied my inboxes entirely in order to detect if a code has reached them. I have searched for emails sent by addresses ending in "accountprotection.microsoft.com" and have found absolutely nothing. I have tried other ways to sign in such as using my Authenticator, but I don't see any other option to be able to use that in the first place.

    I have also made sure that my security information is up to date. The PIN, phone number, and alternate email address listed in my account's security profile are all up to date.

    Somebody help me.

    :)

    Hi Sixth,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues logging in to your Microsoft account when using Microsoft Store. I understand that you don't receive the security code that's being sent to your email.

    If this is the first time that this happened, there may be heavy compromised traffic coming from your geographical location and to protect you, Microsoft may also not deliver codes to your account as fast as usual. While rare, these issues will be automatically resolved after a certain period of time. Kindly try to login again after few hours.

    Please check your junk email folder for a message from a Microsoft account, and use the code sent to you. Valid verification codes come from an @accountprotection.microsoft.com email address.

    Mark @accountprotection.microsoft.com as a trusted sender to receive your verification code in your inbox.

    If you've followed all the recommended settings and you're still not getting the codes, kindly see this official support article about Microsoft account security info & verification codes:

    Sorry, I should clarify, I mean when you are receiving security codes at xbox.com. I could potentially be wrong about the outlook domain, but I was pretty sure it was included. LIVE and Hotmail I'm positive don't do it, because when you sign into the account
    on xbox.com, and attempt account management, and it needs to verify you are you, it would be pointless to verify the person by sending it to the same email used to login, because if that email was compromised, it would be a self defeating security check. You
    can, however, receive the website verification code at a different Hotmail or LIVE email than the one you're logging in with. I'll have to research a bit more to confirm this for outlook emails.
