Additional verification triggered
Account theft is so rampant that service providers like Microsoft look for clues of suspicious activity. If such a clue is detected — such as a sign-in from an unusual location — additional steps might be required to authenticate and sign in. If you’re unable or unprepared to provide them, you might not be able to access your account.
