  1. I do not receive a text message from microsoft to restore the account


    My brother has created his account on 2020, mainly to play minecraft. Since then there was no issues, but then he forgot the password and restored his microsoft account using his phone number. I have an email from microsoft on mail.ru service, notifying me that the password was changed and there is my phone number. It was dated january 2023. He forgot the password again, and now when he tries to receive the code, it asks the last 4 digits of the phone, we enter it and there is no code, the phone number can not be mistaken, the issue was following us for last 2 month, still can't restore it. However i can restore my main account from which i am creating this thread, i receive a msg from microsoft, however my brother does not. He has not blocked the microsoft contact, and he receives the messages from other contacts and services. Help me out please.

    :)

    I do not receive a text message from microsoft to restore the account

    Hello Ayan, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.
    Not a Microsoft employee.

    I’m sorry to hear your brother is having some issues when trying to get a code from Microsoft.
    I would like to clarify that they only send the confirmation code if the phone number or email you put was previously linked to the Microsoft account you’re trying to recover.

    As this method is not working for him, the last resource is submitting the Microsoft account recovery form:

    Having an issue with signing in…

    Hello Gingerbread,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

    Here are some suggestions to fix the problem of your brother not receiving the login verification code on his mobile:

    Check your mobile settings. Make sure your phone is set up to receive text messages from Microsoft.

    To do this, open your mobile settings and look for the "Messages" section.

    Next, look for the “Allow text messages from Microsoft” option and make sure it is turned on.

    Check your Microsoft account settings.

    Make sure your Microsoft account is set up to receive verification text messages.

    To do this, go to your Microsoft account security page and check the "Two-Step Verification" section.

    Next, make sure “Send a text message” is turned on.

    Try a different phone number. If you have access to another phone number, try using that number to receive the verification code.

    Try signing in to your Microsoft account in a web browser.

    If you can sign in to your Microsoft account in a web browser, you can generate an 8-digit verification code that you can use to sign in to your Xbox console.

    To do this, go to your Microsoft account sign-in page and click the "I can't access my account" link.

    Next, select the "I'm not receiving the text message" option.

    Regarding your brother's suggestion to create a new profile, it is true that she will lose the games she purchased on that account if she creates a new profile. However, there are some games that can be transferred from one account to another.

    These are basic solutions to these problems, but they can lead to a solution, remember that this is a public forum where we are players like you who want to help, good luck and happy day.

    Sincerely,
    Marvina.

    Can't recover xbox account with landline phone #

    Well there are actually a few options to make a landline capable of receiving text messages, such as Zipwhip, but I was told it's not possible to receive short code messages. That is what the support team uses for verification codes. I can make the phone
    receive text from any mobile carriers.

    I don't understand what do you mean the microsoft account, do you just mean the email? Thats the thing I don't remember. Since I haven't used a email to log into or recovered the account in many many years. I probably would know the password for the email
    though since I use the same password for all emails.

    Text message and friend request problems

    You should have received a message if you were suspended from sending/receiving text messages and friend requests. Can you send outgoing text messages and friend requests to other players? If you can, then you should be able to get messages and requests
    from other players. I would also look into the privacy settings on your account and make sure you're allowed to send/receive messages and friend requests.

    Security Proofs - ridiculous

    What utter rubbish. I'm sitting here waiting for another phonecall from Microsoft about an account and i've just received the fourth text message. Security is fine, the system is pathetically organised.
