Windows 10: I get single-use codes to my email that I am not requesting

Discus and support I get single-use codes to my email that I am not requesting in Windows 10 Gaming to solve the problem; I have received a few codes to my email that I did not request. They’re coming in around 2 am so it’s probably somebody on the other side of the world.... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Gaming' started by Axel Lindquist, Mar 31, 2025.

  1. I get single-use codes to my email that I am not requesting


    I have received a few codes to my email that I did not request. They’re coming in around 2 am so it’s probably somebody on the other side of the world. I changed my passwords recently and got a few more, some from my Facebook account as well. I can change my passwords again, but can you recommend anything else? Any way to look into the ones coming to my email from Microsoft?

    :)

  2. is it a hack/scam?, i keep getting emails about requests for a single use code

    i can not actually find the best "product* cause its purely code generations for logging into the Microsoft account itself

    I keep getting emails for a single use code in my email. I probably receive 10 emails a day for the past few weeks. And I haven't been trying to request a code. - the bit in bold is bold for a reason i have already been ignoring and deleting the messages its getting it the point that i want to report this for harassment soon.

    Email says:

    We received your request for a single-use code to use with your Microsoft account.

    Your single-use code is: -code redacted-

    If you didn't request this code, you can safely ignore this email. Someone else might have typed your email address by mistake.

    Thanks,

    The Microsoft account team

    It's quite annoying. The email sender is from the official Microsoft email. - i know its actually the official email cause to log in to post this i did actually finally need to actually generate myself a code (irony yes)

    I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF MICROSOFT CAUSE THIS THE LEVELS OF CODE GENERATIONS I AM BEING SENT IS BOARDING ON HARASSMENT LEVELS.

  3. Strange emails sending me a single use code I didn't request

    I received this message 3 times after getting help on an Excel issue this week. I am very concerned because this happened after contacting Microsoft, is this a legitimate Microsoft message?? None of the suggestions to click this or that below help at all!!!!
