not work for me😢
So, the solution is simple. Changing the browser, or updating, or things of similar nature won't really matter in this context.
What the solution is to:
Step1: Add a new email address your Microsoft account. Don't add the @outlook.com email address.
Step2: Make the new email address your account's primary alias.
Step3: Add a new phone number for the account.
Step4: Change the primary alias back to your previous @outlook.com email address.
Step5: You can now remove the added email account to your Microsoft account.
Step6: You're done.
Hope this help, it has worked for me this way after trying for months.
I use the gmail email address, not outlook so would this work?
