This article will guide you on how to stop receiving single-use code messages.

If you have received a message resembling the one below, you likely have a Personal Microsoft Account linked to your employee email address.

Renaming your account should help resolve this issue.

Subject: Your single-use code

We received your request for a single-use code to use with your Microsoft account.

Your single-use code is: 123456
