Call us overprotective, but we won’t send you a working code, then we’ll lock you out.

The other day when I signed in to my live.com email account, a message came up telling me to nominate another of my email addresses to get a code to. I did that, and I got a code. Then I got back on live.com and entered the code as requested. I then got "That code didn't work. Check the code and try again."


I tried again and (predictably) the code failed again. I took the "skip for now" option (which at the time said I had 6 days).

Today I've gone through the same rigmarole again. I got a different code, and it doesn't work either. I now have 4 days until I'm locked out, presumably.

Why don't these codes work? This has been a fun game, but I want to stop now.
