Can Microsoft Please get back with me on this
No one from Microsoft Support monitors this forum.
If you want to chat with support you have to initiate the conversation using one of the standard channels. But Microsoft Account Security is an automated process. Microsoft Support Agents can not unlock an account, reset your password, or change any Security Settings no matter what documentation you can present.
- Logon to https://outlook.live.com/ with any working Microsoft account. Once you are in Chat you can tell them the actual account with the problem.
- From the main menu: Help -> ? Help
- {This should open the Help side panel}
- Search Help -> {Your problem} and press Enter
- Still need help? [Yes]
- If you get "We're here to help": Tell us your problem -> {Your problem, again} [Get Help]
- [Sign In] {Use any Outlook/Microsoft account}
- Choose a support option -> Chat with a support agent in your web browser
They want the codes from my Authenticator app that I no longer have access to
If you can complete one verification method for your account (e.g. password)
But can't access any of the other verification methods, and have repeatedly failed the Account Recovery process, or can't use Account Recovery because your account has Two-step Verification (2FA, MFA), then you can try to request that all the verification methods be replaced.
This will put your account in a 30 day "Pending Request" state. You will have limited access to the account during this period or no access at all if the account has Two-step Verification enabled.

If you can not complete any verification methods
Your only choice is the Account recovery process, which you have already tried. Microsoft offers these suggestions for that process.

If you have exhausted all of these possibilities
Yu will not be able to recover your account. I am very sorry, I know that losing access to your account is more than just an inconvenience. It can cause real hardship and financial losses.
