Security info 30 day wait period

NL_006 · Apr 4, 2019

I didn’t have access to the only email associated with my microsoft account. So i clicked on the forgot security info option and am now on the 30 day wait period. What happens after the 30 days are up? Will i be able to change my email with ease?

Hi there,

yes, as far as I know, after that 30 days you should be able to change the security details again.

If the password has been changed, you will need to enter the new password to log into the account. If you haven't changed your password you probably won't have to do anything to your account in the console.

Nope that's something you should've kept up to date

Once the 30 wait period has ended you should be able to change your information with ease, yes.

I'd recommend adding you phone number, and a secondary email to prevent issues in the future.

Always remember to update your security information as it changes, and ensure that all of your personal information is up to date. This helps keep you from getting locked out in the future.

Yes but as mentioned you don't want to keep changing security info to frequently as it can start the 30 day timer again.
