I need help recovering my Microsoft account. I lost my previous phone that had the Microsoft Authenticator app. My account has two-step verification enabled, so I cannot sign in.

I do not remember my account password. The password reset process asks for an authentication code, but I no longer have access to the Authenticator app. I am also not receiving verification codes by email or phone. The account recovery form does not work because two-step verification is enabled.

My laptop is also locked by BitLocker, and I cannot access the BitLocker recovery key because I cannot sign in to my Microsoft account.

I have already submitted the Microsoft account recovery form many times, but my request has not been successful. Since my account has two-step verification enabled and I lost my previous phone with Microsoft Authenticator, I understand the recovery form cannot verify my identity. I need help from the Microsoft Authenticator team to regain access to my account.

I have already contacted Microsoft Support, and they advised me to contact the Microsoft Authenticator team.

Please help me recover my account and regain access to my BitLocker recovery key.

Thank you.
