  1. How to remove authentication in a Microsoft account


    Hello! I have a problem with authentication in my Microsoft account. When changing any parameters on my account, they require a code from an SMS for my phone, but the SMS does not arrive. My number is registered in Kazakhstan (+77**) and worked properly six months ago. But now I haven't been able to get full access to my account for at least 2 weeks. I tried all possible options from the Internet, but none gave any result. I reset my password, tried to transfer mail, add new mail (unsuccessfully). Please help me, I have all the evidence that I am the account owner.

    :)

    How to remove authentication in a Microsoft account

    Hello, Artem P. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble recovering a Microsoft account.

    IMPORTANT: Please don't share personal information, including emails, gamertags, phone numbers, etc.

    As community users like you, we are not able to enter or check information, and everything we comment can be seen by anyone on the internet. Doing so may expose your data.

    That being said, I take this opportunity to let you know that without verifying your identity, it's not possible to remove a verification method from a Microsoft account.

    However, what I could suggest, and in case you didn't try, is to attempt to recover the account by using other methods described in this related tutorial:

    Does redownloading authenticator allow you to add it back to your account?

    Hi MAGL3Y,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you accidentally removed your account from your authenticator and you want to add it back. To add Authenticator as a way to sign in every time, follow these steps:

    On your computer, go to Advanced security options in your Microsoft account dashboard.

    https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2273513

    Scroll down to the Two-step verification section and choose to turn the feature On.

    Follow the instructions shown on the screen.

    Note: As part of setting up this account, you’ll be given a QR code to scan with your device; this is one way we ensure you are in physical possession of the device you are installing the Authenticator app on.

    For more ways on how to add authenticator on your account, please visit:

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Removing and re installing your profile is a simple procedure if you have 2 factor authentication on your account, have registered your console and have the Xbox app plus the Microsoft Authenticator app installed on your mobile phone.
