Outlook/Hotmail Email Unlock Tutorial
The Microsoft email accounts used on this site are of two types: Outlook and Hotmail. Login URL: https://outlook.live.com. Both types of email accounts may be temporarily locked if not logged in for a long time or if logged in from a different location. Re-logging in will require a verification code to unlock, as shown in the figure below:

At this point, don't panic, the email is OK and completely fine. You just need to follow the prompts, click next, and enter a mobile number that can receive verification codes to unlock it. This mobile number will not be bound to the email, it is purely for verification and unlocking. As shown in the figure below:


It has now been unlocked, click continue to log in. If the email is not bound to a secondary email, it will prompt you to bind one within 7 days. If you need to use it long-term, bind a secondary email. For temporary use, you can choose to skip for now.

You can fill in your own email or skip it.
Finally, just make sure to click "No, thanks" in the step shown in the figure below to log in to your email normally.
