I am unable to set-up a new PIN as it asks for a security code to be sent on a number I no longer have. I just updated my number on microsoft accounts and it says will take 30 days before it takes effect. Now I can't even log into my laptop. No option for password login or to change to a local account. Someone HELP!!!

    To ask a normal user to perform these steps is ridiculous. Why not build in a small app to lead the user through the process to make the change. Not friendly, but typical. Stop us from using our devices in the usual way without any kind of warning or explanation.
