Question asked on Sep 25, 2013
For the last several days, I have been getting text messages to my phone from the same number (732873) and they all say "Microsoft account security code: xxxx" (with 4 numeric digits) I have not requested these codes and am not sure why I keep receiving them. 

I tried to access my account with false information (intentionally to see what would happen) and Microsoft sent me a 7 digit code and said "Microsoft account password reset code: xxxxxxx" 

What are these 4 digit codes and why do I keep receiving them from Microsoft? 

Please help! 

:)
