What is the "single-use code" email from the Microsoft Account Team?

Overview

If you have a Personal Microsoft Account, which matches your employee email address, you may have received this email message:

From: Microsoft account team (account-security-noreply@accountprotection.microsoft.com)
Subject: Your single-use code

Hi jvandal@uidaho.edu,

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

Your single-use code is: 123456

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

 

 

Verifying a Personal Account

To verify you have a Personal Microsoft Account, open a browser private window and go to https://account.microsoft.com/. When you enter your @uidaho.edu email address you will see a message to select a "Work or school account" OR a "Personal Account".

If you see this message it means you have a Personal Microsoft Account.

 

Renaming a Personal Account
