    Have a look at:

    Note

    The option to add a new phone number may not be available for your Microsoft account. You may only see options such as a recovery email address, Microsoft Authenticator, or a passkey when adding new sign-in or verification methods. Learn more about phasing out SMS as a method of authentication and account recovery.
