Since I recently changed my phone, I am unable to receive verification notifications from the Authenticator app, which prevents me from logging into my Azure personal account (non-enterprise account). Please guide me on how to disable MFA and log in using only a password.

Use this document which details the steps to recover the account- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/help-with-the-microsoft-account-recovery-form-b19c02d1-a782-dee6-93c3-dc8113b20c42
Once recovered, you can set up MFA again on the new phone.
