Thank you for the information.
Since you have confirmed that your recovery phone number is still linked, but you can't receive the verification codes, please try these steps:
- Avoid submitting multiple requests to phone numbers, since this could stop verification codes from being delivered.
- Suspicious traffic from your geographical location may cause delays in delivering verification codes. These uncommon issues usually resolve on their own after some time.
If the issue persists, this may indicate that your account is temporarily blocked due to unusual activity. You can't receive the verification codes if your account is blocked due to unusual activity as a security measure.
You will need to perform these steps to fix the verification method error:
- Perform a password reset via Incognito/InPrivate window using different devices and network services.
- If it doesn't work, wait exactly 48 hours to reset the password.
- If the issue persists, kindly wait exactly 1 week to perform another password reset. The idea is to wait for the account lock to expire first before you reset the password, as stated in this article: https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/troubleshooting-verification-code-issues-409090c4-92b5-42b9-8ae6-bcc97e62fc48#:~:text=If%20you%20received%20a%20Microsoft%20verification%20code%20that%20you%20did#:~:text=If%20you%20received%20a%20Microsoft%20verification%20code%20that%20you%20did
Important: Please make sure not to attempt to sign in or reset the password within that timeframe (48 hours or 1 week), as this may reset the lock cooldown.
Best regards,
