Account Recovery

Microsoft has added mobile phones and other items as proof of account ownership. For example, if you lose your password, or, worse, if your account gets compromised, we can now send you an account recapture code via SMS to regain access to your account.

Single Use Code

Hotmail users can request a single-use-code for accessing their Hotmail account. This code acts as one time substitute for your password. This code comes very handy when you want to access your hotmail account from a public. When you request Single-Use-Code, the code is sent via SMS to the phone number associated with your Hotmail account.
