User level: Level 1 (12 points)I just received a new iPhone 18 pro and cannot add my MSN email
After selecting “Outlook”, typing my email address & password, I get to the point where it says its sending me a “Code” however I receive no such code. I’ve checked everywhere. Is there a way to have it send the Code to my other email address rather than text? It seems to get lost somewhere. Is there something else I need to do?
