SOLUTION: Unable to receive Microsoft verification code emails to xfinity/comcast email address

After days of troubleshooting, I finally figured out how to get Microsoft’s verification emails to deliver to an Xfinity/Comcast account. If you haven't already, move your Xfinity/Comcast email over to Yahoo, then add account-security-noreply(at)accountprotection.microsoft(dot)com directly to your Yahoo Contacts. From there, sign in to Microsoft and request the verification code to be sent to your Xfinity/Comcast address, then finally the most important part, check your Archive folder, as for some reason the email from Microsoft gets pushed to there instead of the Inbox. Hope this helps someone.

Just an FYI....

Customers can't arbitrarily move their email to Yahoo; they must wait for an invitation to do so.

Right, I would assume that if the person has not yet gotten the invitiation to move to Yahoo, I would still try these steps within Xfinity/Comcast email and see if it works
