Well, I was trying to log into an Outlook account, but it asks for the authenticator, and I sold my phone and had reset it before selling it. When I use my recovery email, there are two options: one is mine and the other is one I’ve never used. Now, I enter the code from my recovery email, but it also asks me to enter the code from the other email (which I don’t have access to). I’m completely lost and don’t know what to do anymore, and I’ve already made purchases with this email. I really don’t want to lose my items.
