I got it on my outlook account too, the one I'm posting this message via, though I'm reasonably sure neither account was actually compromised.
That said, at least with the outlook account, it gave the option to send a verification code to my phone. This worked just fine.
My Hotmail account, on the other hand, only gives email as an option...unfortunately it's still attached to a very, very old email account that can no longer get emails at all.
Why is there no phone option here?
Instead it asks for information I simply do not possess.
Oh, I got the birthday, security question, and all that....
But it also asks subject line of the last email I sent. Why in blazes would I even remember that?
Also asks for folders I created...I didn't create any, thus the point is moot.
Email addresses of contacts I've sent emails too...well, if I remembered email addresses, I wouldn't need a contact list, now would I?
Also billing information for my xbox live account....I don't have one of these.
Now, my hope is that the information I provided is going to be enough, otherwise I'm going to be even angrier than I already am at having my account seemingly erroneously locked.
