I wonder to check for a verification code.

I get a message saying that I need to write code that was sent to my other e-mail account.  When I go to my other e-mail account the message Code says:

It is a verification code, not a password. If you do not request this code, someone else might know your password and access your account. Click here to change your password.

I didn't ask the code, if a reasonable person would assume that "someone else may have access to your account.  I will not use the link 'click here' to change my password because who could get used to the intruder, right?

What on Earth is happening with these messages?  I will lock on my account as indicated in the original email?

Hello

Thank you for your response.

If you click on "Click here", it does not connect to any pirate, it will bring the Web page from which you can change your password to no longer receive messages that you don't want.

I suggest you use the steps described in these help articles and check if this may help.

    Hello drjoe_anzaldua,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.

    Usually the "Windows is unable to Check For Updates" error message produced always of the blocker window update connection attempt.

    1. first of all, please check that there is no any third-party firewall preventing Windows Update to communicate with "update.microsoft.com.

    2. check if Windows Firewall is blocking the update of Windows.

    Please see the following article for connection errors:

  • Where can I enter verification code step 2 for iMessages on my mac?

    I recently had to change my password to iCloud and have since struggled to iMessages on my Mac.

    I have complete my apple ID and the word password, am sent only a code audit to my iPhone, but for the life of me can't see where I'm supposed to enter this code on my mac.

    Hey there, tigereyes53!

    I use iMessage myself, so I know it's important to be able to sign in after having changed your password.

    There are two scenarios that would make you a verification code: two-step verification seen activated on your identifying Apple and authentication two factor for Apple ID, which is built into iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan. Help me, there should be a box that automatically appears on the screen of your Mac to enter the code after it is received on your iPhone.

    If you do not see this box on your Mac screen, I suggest you restart your iPhone and your Mac, then return the verification code.

    For more information on the two-step verification, see the following FAQ article.

  • Verification code not get two-step for app store purchase.

    When you download from the app store, Apple requires the user id and "password followed by verification code displayed on your other devices".

    This is EXTREMELY vague and badly phrased:

    -It does not say where to find this code. I guess it's supposed to appear in the notifications, but does not work.

    -It does not say the link has been "sent". He says it's 'on' these devices. It is somewhere in the settings?

    -Once I found, I'm supposed to just glue it on the end of my password in the same field? It's weird.

    -There is no SMS option because connecting to iCloud and no link for support.

    For some reason, I never receive notices of audit on one of my devices, but connecting to iCloud at least offers an SMS option that works.

    How can I get a verification code to use the app store?

  • Verification Code window does not show up for iMessage

    Hello

    I have an interesting problem that I have been unable to resolve or to find and answer too.

    I had stage 2 auth works perfectly for a few years, I have my macbook, iPhone and a number of devices configure everything.

    My problem, on my macbook my iMessage (FaceTime) app is not active (formerly). When I open the iMessage application it shows my story but it is not connected. I have goto

    * Messages-> Preferences

    * Click on connect.

    * I get a message saying "an Apple id verification code is required.

    * However, when I click 'Ok' to clear the window above, no window opens to allow me to actually enter the verification code.

    * The code is successfully sent to my phone by the way. In all other use case phase 2 auth works fine (i.e. appleid.apple.com).

    I'm a bit of a loss. I can't use FaceTime or iMessage on my macbook (however they work very well on my iPhone / iPad).

    I have a feeling I'm missing something simple on a mac, any help will be welcome!

    Thank you!

    Turns out I missed something (what you all probably already known).

  • Update error 80073712 windows code says that he has never checked for updates update failed on 22-08-08

    When I click on windows update after checking for awhile, I have error code 80073712 impossible to verify updates

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/957310

    «Error message when you try to install updates on the Microsoft Update or Windows Update Web site: «0 x 80073712 "»

    To resolve this problem, use the following methods in the order in which they are presented.

    Method 1: Run (Checksur.exe) system update readiness tool

    1. Download and run the system update readiness tool. This tool runs an ad hoc analysis of inconsistencies that might prevent future maintenance operations.

      For more information about how to download and run the Checksur.exe tool, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

      947821 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821/) Description of the update readiness tool for Windows Vista system
    2. Try to install updates again.

    Note After running the tool, the Checksur.log file is stored in the following location:

    %SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS

    In a default installation of Windows Vista, is the Windows directory.

    If this method does not resolve the problem, go to method 2.

    Method 2: Install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 if you have not yet installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1), visit the Microsoft Download Center and then download and install Service Pack 1. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Quit all programs, and then click on the following link:

      http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=f559842a-9c9b-4579-b64a-09146a0ba746&displaylang=en (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f559842a-9c9b-4579-b64a-09146a0ba746&DisplayLang=en)

      Note Click the option to download on the download page, click Save, and then save the download to your desktop. When the download process is complete, click run to install the SP1.

    2. Restart the computer.
    3. Try to download the updates again.

    If you can't always install updates, go to method 3.

    Method 3: Perform a repair of Windows Vista installation when you perform a repair installation, which restores the current installation of Windows Vista to the version on the installation DVD. This requires you to reinstall all updates that do not appear in this version of Windows Vista.

    To perform a repair of Windows Vista installation, follow these steps:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

      Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, click on Start, type: \setup.exe in the Search box, and then click configuration in the list programs. Then, click install now.

    3. Click connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
    4. Insert the product key if you are prompted to do so.
    5. Click to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.
    6. On the screen which type of installation you want , click upgrade.
    7. Once the installation is complete, restart the computer, and then try again to install updates.
