Digging deeper, I notice I registered my house phone number, not my cell number with Microsoft.

Now I need a code from a cell phone from Microsoft to get back into my computer.

I change Microsoft registration phone to my cell phone and now Microsoft says I need
to wait 30 days for security reasons.

I this normal procedure?
Can I call Microsoft to get my code sooner?
Maybe you were hacked.
