Dear Janbaz,
unfortunately, your suggestions to solve the problem did not work. I tried a different browser and emptied all histories, no success.
To clarify, the account in question is my hotmail.com account not my work account to which you sent me your suggestions. The hotmail.com account works perfectly except i cannot add my phone number or change my password.
The problem now has happened already the second time. Many years ago i also could not add my phone number. Microsoft checked the situation for 30 days during which i could not use my email.
Now, for a very strange reason, the phone number i added years ago again has disappeared from my account. That is why i cannot change my password as the programme is constantly trying to send me a verification code to my non-existing phone number. Neither can i add my phone number because then aswell the programme tries to send my a verification code to this non-existing phone number....
At the momet i cannot wait for 30 days without email as there are all kinds of things coming up to which i have to respond.
How can this be so complicated?
The only alternative seems to be that i just never change my password?
Regards, Tanja Vesivalo
