Hello,

Phone # for verification is obsolete. Provided alternate email for code; obtained and password reset. BUT, when trying to login with new password, Microsoft still asking to send code to obsolete phone # to finalize login. Soooo frustrating. ( having to use gmail meanwhile)

Hi,

If you didn't enable the 2-factor authentication for your Outlook/Hotmail account, you can request help from Microsoft in order to recover your account.

Here's the link to the recovery form. For help with the form, see this page.

Good luck
