Buongiorno Bill,

purtroppo ho scoperto a mie spese (e anche da altri utenti che utilizzano Microsoft assiduamente) che il codice di sicurezza non lo genera quasi mai nessuno, di conseguenza non sempre è disponibile. Come pure il modulo di recupero dati, mi viene sempre restituito con "abbiamo ritenuto i dati inviati insufficenti" ma non tutti gli utenti utilizzano Skype, Outlook o Hotmail specie qui da noi in Italia!!!!!

Capisco tutto, ma bisognerebbe contemplare un pò tutte le casistiche, no? In fondo io avevo solo la necessità di sostituire il numero di telefono associato perchè non più attivo, ho tentato anche con VODAFONE se esisteva la possibilità di farmi riassegnare il numero di telefono in questione, che pee altro era mio fino ad Ottobre 2024 (data di chiusura della partita IVA della mia Azienda) ma purtroppo non è possibile.

* Please ensure you have entered your phone number correctly and it is a mobile phone number and not a landline number or a VOIP number as VOIP numbers cannot be added as a way to sign in or get verification codes.  *** Note:**If you are still not receiving verification codes, you may have to choose another method or wait until you can access the phone or email you have listed.* If you need to update backup security information in case, you do not have access to the phone number or email address, or you need to add another way to sign in, select I don't have any of these when trying to sign in and follow the prompts. Please follow the steps provided on the link: Troubleshooting verification code issues - Microsoft Support

To unlock your account:

* Try another method: Sometimes the block may be tied to the verification method you are using. Try using another verification method connected to your account. For example, if you are using SMS to verify yourself and are hitting a block, try using an alternate email that is connected to the account to receive your authorization code.

Please note: If you have turned on two-step verification and cannot access any of the alternate methods to get a verification, unfortunately, we would not have any other option to recover your account. If this is case, then unfortunately, you may have to create a new Microsoft account.

Good morning Bill, thanks for the reply; unfortunately for the password recovery I have no options to choose between email or phone number (I could communicate the complete number to try to be credible as the owner of that number which is now deactivated) but only the phone number that I had activated at the time and which is now deactivated. I am desperately trying to enter the new number.....
