    My problem is my alias / outlook email address - the password for this does not seem to be the same as my Microsoft account. So I can change the password endlessly for my Microsoft account. But I can't seem to log in to my outlook email address.

    I still have this email on my outlook app on my MacBook. But when I change password on this app, it doesn't work anywhere else.

    Hi,

    To clarify, you have already set up a verification method on your account, but when you try to reset it on your iPhone, it says that you do not have any verification method, even though you do?
