Do these days Microsoft account verification methods aren't working?

Dear Doubtnet

Thanks for reaching out! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A. I'm Haien from Microsoft Q&A.

I can sense your frustration with the Microsoft account verification methods not working—issues with the Authenticator app requiring a reset and email/phone verification failing are definitely a hassle. You mentioned that the Microsoft Authenticator app is asking you to set it up again, and during email verification, the process fails at the second step and you're not receiving a code on your phone. The image you've uploaded shows a message saying, "That verification method isn't working right now. Please try another method." This is a frustrating situation, as it can completely lock you out of your account.

Since you’re using Windows 11 on Hyper-V, here are some steps to try:

Option 1:  Use the Microsoft Account Recovery Form

• Go to the Microsoft account recovery page: https://account.live.com/password/reset. > Enter the email address, phone number, or Skype name associated with your account. > When you're unable to use the verification methods, select "I don't have any of these" or similar > Follow the prompt on the screen to fill out your personal information that you set up on your Microsoft account

Option 2: Update Your Security Information

• Go to the Microsoft account security page: https://account.microsoft.com/security. > Sign in if prompted > Click on "Advanced security options."  > Follow the prompt on the screen to fill out your personal information that you set up on your Microsoft account

Important Note: Any changes to your security information will initiate a 30-day waiting period. During this time, you cannot make further changes. This is a security measure.

Option 3: Reinstall and Reconfigure Microsoft Authenticator (Last solution)

Since the Authenticator app is a key part of your problem, it's worth trying to refresh its connection to your account if none of the options above work.

Recommendation: Report to Feedback Hub

If none of the above solutions work, I strongly recommend that you contact Microsoft Support and submit feedback regarding your issue so they can verify your error.

• Open the Feedback Hub app > Click "Add new feedback." > Provide a detailed description of the issue, including when it started, what you've tried, and the result > Submit the feedback under the suitable category.
