I was trying to get my phone number off my old account that my brother was using, but every time I try to add my phone number its keep saying "That verification method isn't working right now. Please try another method", and the tab says "Blocked", and at first I thought my account was block [for Some reason], but I could still sign in, Then i tryed to refresh a few times. but that also didnt work, and the thing is I can put the phone number, back on the other account, but not on the other one i'm trying to get it on.

    I need your help to recover my account. I have changed my password many times as you yourself (Microsfot) suggested on the websites. But when I go to log in, it doesn't work. It takes me to a site where it says my account is locked and I should recover. The only recovery method available is the mobile number and when I enter my mobile number it gives the information that is in the photo. (Try another Verification Method). But there is no another verification method, only that one. It's impossible to recover my account.

    Ive tried all in this post and yet, nothing accepting. And I just receive this method to fix my problem.

    I had to use a friend’s number from another country. The number doesn’t have to be linked to your account or anything.

    It is very frustrating how hard it is, and this error STILL isn’t fixed.
