hello,

this idea make sure our email account secured , not access anyone. based on steps have done, seems gmail account got security code recover password associated xyz@outllook.com. reason why receive recovery code.

however, have article make accounts more secured. check out link: protect microsoft account. give tips on how create strong password. also, if ever think account has been hacked, can refer page: outlook.com account has been hacked. page has several steps follow on how recover accounts.

let know if have further inquires.
