    [Microsoft Account] Verification Code via SMS not Getting Sent


    I am annoyed, pissed, and frustrated; as I have never experienced this kind of issue on any other website, especially for something simple like receiving the verification code.

    I can receive verification code from Google/Yahoo with ease.

    I can receive verification code from Facebook without any issues.

    I also have no trouble on receiving the verification code from Steam/Twitch.

    The verification code for my Microsoft account—however—is not getting sent, even though the last four (4) digits are correct. Given the situation, I cannot [Edit account info].

    The other thing that's also confusing me is my phone number under [Account info]; it's "None", which I assume is blank(?). If that is the case, then why is it trying to send the verification code via SMS? Is this what's causing the issue?

    Any assistance regarding this matter would be appreciated.

    :)

    [Microsoft Account] Verification Code via SMS not Getting Sent

    Hi Maryano. Sorry to hear about what happened. I know how frustrating that must be. I would feel the same way if I were in your shoes. Let's see what we can do about that.

    I believe that the number isn't one of your account aliases, therefore it won't show under Account info. The system verification type you're getting there must be the verification procedure when the system asks you to verify your account because you're trying to access the sensitive information and settings of your account.

    You may try to go to https://account.microsoft.com > Security > Advanced security options. You should be asked to verify your account when you click on it. Let me know if it's still the same issue.

    I also suggest to try to do it on your other devices or internet browser.

    Verification Code email is not being sent

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues getting the verification code.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please check your email address. Make sure that the email displayed on the verification screen is correct. If you have multiple accounts, confirm that the one tied to Xbox and Microsoft Store is the one you’re trying to access.

    And then search your email b looking for keywords like "Microsoft verification code" or "Account security" in your inbox. Kindly check your Spam, Junk, and other folders for the email.

    Next is use an alternate verification methods. If you have other recovery options linked to your account, such as a phone number, request the code via SMS.

    Or an authenticator app, enable it for verification.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Please check phone settings. Make sure that your phone is not blocking messages from unknown senders.

    Kindly restart your phone as well in order for it to refresh.

    And then please re-send the code a few times because there can be a delay in receiving the SMS.

    Next is to use an alternate method. If you see an option to send the verification code via email or the Microsoft Authenticator app you may choose it.
