I have authenticator installed on my Android phone, trying to login my working Microsoft account on a lap top which requires the approval of authenticator, the notification did pop up, however, when I tried to click on Approve, it always proceed as Deny, hence not able to login. Please help.

- Click on I want to use another option, a dropdown will appear in popup
- Select Phone instead of Microsoft Authenticator App
- Select your country and enter your phone number
- Enter the code sent on your phone, it will be verified
- Sign in again
