I have a couple of outlook accounts. This one I am using I can log in to my email just fine. However because I have not used the other for a while I cannot log in. I went through all the steps first tried the password which wanted to send an sms code. I did this but then it stated that it no longer supported this so I tired verifying viya this account. I received the code but then it went back to sending SMS code. So there is no ending.It jst keeps going round in circle. So if you no longer using the sms service why is it that you still have not updated this and remove it completely. The reason I dont use the other account because it is used for facebook services and use this current one for personal emails.

So now I cannot log into my facebook account either as they keeps sending me code to my email which I cannot access

Hello I’m Virginia.

Please try requesting the code via your browser’s incognito mode or via a non Chrome-related browser to see if that works.

You can also send Microsoft feedback or make a complaint to let them know of the problem:

Microsoft will not see your comments/suggestions/complaint on the community so I would recommend sending Microsoft feedback via the app - Windows key + F key or via the web:

https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/

Formal complaint:

    Its not that I was not happy with the answer. I think the page is a bit misleading. I appreciate you took time out to try and help. Just unfortunate that in this case that solution did not work. I looked hornblower 409 answer and t tried with no success. So until microsoft decide to get there finger out and do something then no alot I can do. I have put in a formal complaint though. We will see what that transpires.

    Many Thanks

    The problem is not the browsers, I have tried all these including private.None of them work. The problem is with Microsoft. There system says that it sent the code but the codes never arrive. Then the next popup it says

    "That verification method isn't working right now. Please try another method." The problem is there is no option for other method. So the fault it with microsoft but they are not interested in helping anyone.
