How do you sign in using just your email & password? Bypassing verification process.

    Hi,

    Outlook.com does not provide a supported option to bypass mandatory security verification and sign in using only an email address and password.

    If you want to reduce verification prompts:

    Visit Microsoft Account Security.

    Review your available verification methods.

    Set up Microsoft Authenticator or another supported sign-in method.

    If offered, select Don't ask me again on this device when signing in from a trusted personal device.

    Avoid private browsing and clear-cookie settings that remove your trusted-device session.

    If you have lost access to your verification method, use the Microsoft Account Recovery Form.

    I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you good luck!
