Why does azure verify my email address every time I log in?

Sam Wheat 361

I need to be able to log into Azure portal every day using my user name and password. How do I prevent Azure from prompting me for a code from my alternative email address? Thank you.

Thanks for the response. I don't think my question has anything to do with Azure active directory however there is no tag here that relates to my question.
Perhaps this forum is not the correct place to ask this question (?)

I just need to log into the portal each day. For the last three or four days I have been prompted to enter my alternate email address where I have to retrieve a code and input that code so I can log in. I don't think that is necessary every day, every time I log in, and I would like to disable that. How do I do that?

Thanks again.

Do you have a screenshot?

It is a dialog that prompts me for a secondary email address.

That verify prompt is coming from your outlook.com account. Outlook.com is not currently supported here on QnA. They're actively answering questions in dedicated forums here.

I only have to verify when I log into Azure - not Outlook. I use my Outlook account for several other services and only on Azure I have to verify.
