    Unable to change my phone number


    I need to change the phone number that is signed up with my account because I have a new one and don’t have access to the old one anymore, but when I try to change it it says I need to use the Microsoft authentication app but when I sign up with that app it does not work. It says I need to use the Microsoft Authenticator app to authenticate my sign in even though I’m trying to sign into the app in the first place.

    :)

    Hello again, in this part, the site usually shows you an option of "I don't have any of the above options", and with that you would add a new number or email, but your account will be quarantined for 30 days.

    Unable to change my phone number

    I have full access to my Microsoft account as I am logged in with it now, the problem is when I go it my security setting and try to change my phone number, the only verification options are sending verification via sms, which won’t work because it send to my old phone number that I don’t have access to anymore (the reason why I am trying to change it) , or Microsoft Authenticator which doesn’t work when I try to sign up. I could easily verify through my email but it seems there is no option for that.

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Noah, when you try to login to your account via the website, does it not offer other authentication methods like SMS message or a verification code?

    Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

    To remove / add / update a phone number on your Microsoft account:
    1. Go to "Manage how you sign in to Microsoft" and sign in to your account: https://account.live.com/names/Manage

    2. Select "Add phone number" and follow through the process of verifying your contact details and adding it to your account.

    3. You can make the new contact the primary alias by selecting "Make primary".

    4. You’ll then have the option to remove the old email address or phone number from your account.

    Hope this helps resolve your query. Have a great day.
