Not Receiving Verification Code via email for Sign-in & Sync (Windows 11) Laptop

Hi,

I have a Microsoft account (@hotmail.com) through which i am using Onedrive & Microsoft Teams which are synced with my laptop for a real time files/folders sync.

Recently i enabled password & pin to login to this very same Laptop, earlier it didn’t had any password/pin to login , what I noticed is that after enabling this sign-in password to access laptop ,the MS teams & Onedrive got auto logged out and when i am trying to login , it further attempts to send verification code to my hotmail email account but that’s not happening despite multiple attempts.

Its triggering an email but i am not receiving any email /code, i have checked all blocked emails, junk folder, did basic troubleshooting after reading similar Q&As on verification issues & blogs but could not resolve this.

PS : I can login to onedrive successfully with web version , i was able to use onedrive app on my laptop with real time sync untill last week then its started asking to re-verify my credentials and when i am trying , i am not receiving the verification code on my hotmail account.

Please refer below screenshots.

    Make sure OneDrive starts automatically when you sign in to Windows. Go to Windows Start > Settings > Apps > Startup. Scroll down to Microsoft OneDrive and toggle it ON.
