I'm getting a few codes minute for the last hour or so.  I've checked to see if someone was accessing my account and there was no evidence of it.  I'm receiving texts from a handful of numbers and i don't want to block them in since i do need to get verification code from time to time, and the number i get the code from varies.

Hi BenjaminDau,

If you're receiving unsolicited verification codes, this means that someone is trying to login your account and unable to pass the verification process. Kindly see the suggestions provided in this article on how to keep your Microsoft account safe and secure.

    I keep been asked to enter a UK number, to verify my access before I can send email. I receive emails no problem but when I want to reply or send new email, "Verify email account" pops up with United Kingdom +44 and box to enter number.

    As said, I can access all parts of account and even MS Authentication works great but cannot send emails.

    I JUST WANT SOMEWAY OF VERIFYING ACCOUNT, SO I CAN SEND EMAIL!!!
