I have a new phone, and I was able to activate my old Hotmail account. But when it comes to add my student account as a secondary, authenticator app will pop up, giving me a random number. While Outlook will ask me to enter some numbers at my authenticator, which in self is giving me a number. Iam so confused ... Outlook wants me to enter a number via authenticator, while authenticator while present me a random NBR... I really don't get it.. maybe some one smarter could help? Thank you
