  1. Suspicious text "Wait is over and security information for hotmail account was replaced"


    I have received at text saying that the security info for my hotmail account has been replaced and asking me to review at:

    Sign in to your Microsoft account.

    I think it is a scam text but not sure - the phone number it was sent from is +447980680189.

    Can anyone help?

    :)

    Account Security Information - Wait for a month?

    Hello,

    If you've gone through the steps of adding a computer and you've still been greeted with that message then it means something isn't meshing right and not allowing you to login to the account. The Trusted PC option only works if you use Internet Explorer (no
    other browsers will work with the Trusted PC option). The 30 day wait period is there for account security, it allows a compromised user time to respond (if their account is indeed compromised) to let Microsoft know that no, this is not correct my account
    is not compromised. It's sort of a grace period to prevent any sort of funny business.

    There's also the option of adding a cell phone number to the account (if you have one available) this seems to be the safest bet and easiest way to gain access back in the meantime). Once you've added one and then request a code be sent via SMS it will send
    the code and you should be able to enter it in the website.

    As far as your question about how does one update their credit card information in the mean time you'd need to contact phone support and edit it on the phone with them, that would be your only other alternative. You can do that by clicking on this link
    here and clicking "Request a Call".

    Thanks.

    Hi there Not Swisher,

    Thanks for reaching out her in Xbox Forums. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with the Microsoft Account. In reference to your question, short answer no.

    If you've removed and replaced your security information within the last 30 days, you'll have to wait until the 30-day period is over before you can do it again. This waiting period helps protect your account if an attacker gets your password. For more information
    take a look at the following article:
    Update all of your Microsoft account security information
    .

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Laurakadri, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    If you're pertaining to the security email information on your Microsoft account you need to update it first.

    1. Sign in to your Microsoft account. - https://account.microsoft.com/

    2. Select Security at the top of the page, and then select Advanced security options. This takes you to the Security basics page.

    3. Under Ways to prove who you are, you’ll see the options to change or remove/add security info for each section. When changing this security info, you’re asked to verify your identity via text, email, your Microsoft Authenticator app, or a verification code from your mobile app.

    You will be needing to replace this security information. If you've removed and replaced your security info within the last 30 days, you'll have to wait until the 30-day period is over before you can do it again. This waiting period helps protect your account if an attacker gets your password.
