2FA now moved from Google Authenticator to Authy (thanks for the heads up), and set up 2FA for a couple of misc accounts that didn't yet have it configured while I was at it. Far sooner use an app than rely on SMS.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

nathan: MSA = microsoft account

And also Microsoft Student Accelerator according to an email this morning about the MSA programme. Microsoft are just trying to confuse everyone, right? ;-)

I went looking for the verify option again last night, and this time could access the verify using email.
So I did and within seconds got the code (and it seems my verify email account is gmail, so I could have used the email option the first time around)

Thanks for the offer to help nathan

This is the same company with LINQ and Lync, so I'd wager "yes" :)
