    Account locked, "Something went wrong" when requesting a verification code via text


    Bought Minecraft several days ago. Set up a new Microsoft account using a particular email (I'm asking this question from a different, older account). Launcher and game ran fine then. Tried to launch game again today, using same new email for sign in. Received and entered single-use code. Error message pops up in game launcher saying "Your account has been locked". Pressed Next, was asked to enter phone number to be texted a security code. Entered phone number. Received immediate error message "Something went wrong", so I can't receive the security code.

    Retried several times. Same result. Tried logging into Microsoft account on Microsoft website. Same result. Tried to log in using new email on Microsoft Authentication app, received error "Something went wrong. Please try again."

    Then attempted several Microsoft Account Recovery forms, using data from the singular purchase associated with this several-day-old account. All requests were denied.

    Account locked, "Something went wrong" when requesting a verification code via text

    Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you're experiencing this problem. I understand how important recovering your account is to you.

    Just a gentle reminder that we are only Xbox gamers here in the community. We are not Microsoft employees and we do not have tools to access any Microsoft System.

    Based on your description and since you mentioned that your account is locked, I highly recommend you submit an account reinstatement form as a last resort to unlock your account:
    https://www.microsoft.com/concern/AccountReinstatement

    You may receive the results via email within 48 - 72 hours.

    If the account has been unlocked but you are still unable to recover your account, I just want to confirm did you have two-factor authentication (2FA) active on the account? If you do have the 2FA active, are you able to access the second factor of authentication? If so, please try resetting your password. Detailed steps on resetting your password can be found in the following support article: https://support.microsoft.com/office/eff4f067-5042-c1a3-fe72-b04d60556c37

    Important: The account recovery form can only be used if two-step verification isn't turned on. If the feature is enabled, the only way to recover the account is to regain access to your two-step verification phone number.

    If you did not have 2FA active on the account, and the account was not deleted due to inactivity, you will need to try the Account Recovery Form: https://account.live.com/acsr

    Detailed steps on how to use the Account Recovery Form can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/office/b19c02d1-a782-dee6-93c3-dc8113b20c42

    Microsoft takes account security very seriously, that's why Account Recovery is an automated process with no human influence. If you don't have the correct information, you may not be able to get through account verification using the Recovery Form.

    The Account Recovery Form requires adequate information to prove that you are the owner of the account. The Account Recovery Process can be a time-consuming process, but providing as much info as possible from the start of the process will increase the possibility of being verified by the automated process. You'll need to keep trying until you're verified by Microsoft.

    Remember to use a familiar device from which you've frequently accessed your Microsoft account, as well as a familiar location. Microsoft will review your responses and respond within 24 hours. If you are verified, instructions on how to log back into your account will be sent to you, and if you are not verified, you will need to submit the Account Recovery form again. You can do this up to 2 times every 24 hours.

    It's important to note that Microsoft Support will not be able to grant you access to your account, you will be sent back to the Account Recovery pages that have been linked above.

    If your Microsoft account recovery request was not granted or was unsuccessful, please click the attached link for more information: https://support.microsoft.com/office/dc56c3e3-dff0-4ed5-8edb-60290eea6b53

    While it might not be the outcome you are looking for, if you’re unsuccessful in recovering your account, then you will need to create a new Microsoft account. You can do that by clicking this link: https://signup.live.com/

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best regards,
    Darhyl

    My Xbox live account is gone forever! I can't get one!

    Did you link a mobile phone number to your account?

    If so, use that to receive a verification code via text or a call.

    Error code 831188FE

    I logged into my account on my mobile phone, or you can on PC, and got a verification code sent to my cell via text message and then entered that code in the box on my phone on my account page, then changed my password, and when I logged back in on my Xbox,
    everything worked perfect.

    계정이 잠겼다고해서 보안코드를 받으려고 하는데 문자가 안와요 [I'm trying to get a security code because my account is locked, but I don't have a text.]

    The OP is locked out of their Microsoft account...they bought UGP and then wanted to cancel it the next day but couldn't access their MS account.

    Their problem is that the account became locked (for an unknown reason) and they aren't receiving the code via text message for the account recovery process

    That's the way it reads to me anyway.
