Hello everyone,
i have a problem with signing in on Microsoft Edge on my PC.
I click to the sign in tab, there is saved my Outlook email address and there appears only one tab "Send Code".
i'm logged in to my Outlook email but I never get any code. I also checked the junk folder but nothing.
My internet works fine and I can receive emails on all my other email adresses.

The problem is that I don't have any other option to sign in to Edge, it's just this "send code" option.
What can I do? Any help would be appreciated, many thanks !
 
What Windows OS is installed?

What version of Outlook (Classic or New) are you using?

My thought is that Microsoft Edge is defaulting to some web page requiring you to enter a confirmation code in order to login or otherwise access that web page.

And that confirmation code is being sent to some other email account - not one of yours.

Take some screenshots and post the screenshots here via imgur (www.imgur.com > green "New post" icon).

More information needed.

Mod Edit: remove the image with email address.

why would it need a code? account recovery? it wouldn't try to send a code to itself.
try open edge inprivate mode?
Because i have saved bookmarks and passwords on edge when i was logged in with my outlook account. Somehow i signed out and now i can't sign back to access the pages and passwords are saved there. I can login to my microsoft account with other browser (for example chrome) but i need EDGE to access what i wrote. I hope you understand me well, my english is not the best..... Btw. i tryed private mode but as i said i need my saved things (sync).

Question - only to ensure that there is not some confusion....

Are you using the Outlook email app and/or the outlook mail server?

As above (Post #3) you should not post or show your email address. Mask your email addess.


For example: my email address is provided by Xfinity (Comcast) via a "XXXXX@comcast.net".

[Note: for the record - Xfinity/Comcast no longer permits/accepts new _______@comcast.net email addresses.
Inactive comcast.net addresses are being purged.]

Microsoft uses XXXXX @outlook.com for their mail servers.

(Apple uses @icloud.com Google is @gmail.com.

The imgur images show that you are using New Outlook (vs Classic) - the app.

Also: If you open your email app you should still be able to open Edge in another window in order to access what you wrote.
