Windows 11 vs Boomer

submitted by anon to AnonWhatever 2 monthsApr 14, 2025 14:29:17 ago (+10/-2)     (AnonWhatever)

So I set this boomer up with a new Windows 11 PC last week.

transferred all his data from his 15 year old clunker. Set him up with a local account. Made sure everything works.

Today he calls me and he can't log in. Now he has a Microsoft™ Account and its asking for a pin. But it never sends him the pin.

I asked him why he did that. He said he was trying to get a 2FA code from stripe.

He also uninstalled my remote support.

I don't think he's going to make his meeting.

Through his efforts to obtain a 2factor SMS pin for Stripe had changed his local Windows account to an online account and logging in to his microsoft account that had a landline as the 2FA method and Microsoft kept trying to send 2factor SMS requests to the landline
