Solved. &nbsp;For others looking for help, I will note that it seems like &nbsp;outlook is more willing to help if you are using the original alternative email that you gave them. &nbsp;In my case I was temporarily out of that one too, so that complicated it. &nbsp;But still they should have this 4 digit mix up solved by now.

As part of the new outlook Hotmail verification procedure they demand verification via another email account. &nbsp;However, they provide only a 4 digit code, but demand a 5 digit code. &nbsp;I'm now locked out. <br />
<br />
A google search reveals others with this problem. &nbsp;I've already submitted a request for help to them, but haven't heard back yet. &nbsp;Will I ever? <br />
<br />
Would appreciate any ideas/suggestions. <br />

Thanks, Lewis.

Outlook hotmail failure; they provide a 4 digit code but demand a 5 digit code.

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
