Microsoft account
Security code
Thanks for helping us verify the Microsoft account xx*****@xxx.xx.xxx.
Here is your code: nnnnnnn
This is a verification code, not a password. If you didn't request this code, someone else may know the password for xx*****@xxx.xx.xxx and have access to that account. Click here to change your password.
Thanks,
