I have a Microsoft account and have forgotten the password. I want to sing in with it on some other website or app. The sign in page is showing that they have sent the verification code and if I check my outlook, I have not received any code.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I don't see a useful reply. What good is this? The "new / current" Microsoft is totally letting us down. Instead of useful on point support from them, their focus is totally on recurring revenue via their subscription model. Shame on them and us for buying into it.
While your reply was quick thorough and filled with possibilities, the very fact that 71+ people, now including myself, are having this issue, mean the source of the issue is Microsoft. Period. At the very least not providing a text alternative to send the code as in my case it is my new cellphone that I am trying to link in place of my old cellphone that was linked.
Most every other site that requires a verification code, gives you multiple alternatives to email or of an email address.
when I open they send the code to other app
Yes I can't login i lost my number
