Received phone text reading, "Microsoft Verification Code: XXXX" ... I did not request it.

Received phone text reading, "Microsoft Verification Code: XXXX."

I received it at 11:30 pm.  I was sleeping, then.

I only log on to my lap top with a microsoft password.

Is someone trying to get into my system, etc?

Thank you.

Hi Kristen,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft community.

You have mentioned that you have received a Microsoft Verification Code but you did not request for it.  

It could be a scam. Microsoft will never send any such Email or Verification code unless the users request for it.
