Hello Rob
Hotmail tries to protect your account if someone tries to login from unknown location. If you can get text, you can easily verify it’s you.
And don’t share your email address and password in internet. Never ever type your password in comment box.

Hello Dale
This is security feature of Hotmail account to prevent someone else logging into your account. To bypass this security step when logging into Hotmail you can set ‘remember this device’ in which Hotmail ask security verification. Another reason for verification may be 2 step verification. You can turn it off, if you regularly sign in to Hotmail from new devices.

Hello Linda Knutson
If you are login to Hotmail after a long time, log in from unknown device or place then Hotmail may ask you to enter code. It is for your account security. Enter the code and you’ll be fine, you’ll receive the code on your phone. If you are still unable to sign in then reset Hotmail password.
