Hi,

I am trying to recover my account.

I am trying to send the verification code to my phone number, however to do so I have to pass a "help us beat the robots" verification.

I successfully complete the verification but the process does not go to the next step.

There is no button to proceed and it does not automatically redirect to the next step.

I have tried on a desktop using opera, chrome and safari.

I have tried an android phone using the app, using the phone browser

I have tried on an iphone using the browser.

It gets stuck on "verification complete" every single time.

This function is completely broken.

It is extremely frustrating and I am not able to recover my account.

Attached is a screenshot

    I'm having the same stuck situation also, and I'm also adding a new number as I cannot redeem points from Microsoft rewards as it needs my phone number.

    Same here. I can not use my new phone because I can not retrieve my password across multiple browsers and devices, due to this silly bug
