Hey guys here it comes up:
An image from 'Signing In Help'. Windows account settings screen showing user details and options to change account picture.

I clicked on "Verify" and i make it secured by a phone number, but now when i login my microsoft account on browser it says wait 30 days until verification don't complete something like this... and there is option "Cancel Request" too, but they written don't worry you can still sign in Microsoft Account, so i won't be logged out if i boot next time?

IME the best option is to open and use another (free) hotmail account, the verification code always comes that day… the longest one for me here in Australia is about 3 minutes and that was a one off.
