    Can't do 2 step verification because the number I used is dead


    So I just restarted my laptop because it's lagging but them my accounts got restarted too? Like my school account was already signed in in my browser to make it easier for me because it needs 2 step verification and the number I used was old and gone now so I can't sign in anywhere but in my laptop. Yet, just now my accounts needs to be signed in and it needs 2 step verification and I don't know what to do

    :)

    Can't do 2 step verification because the number I used is dead

    Turning off 2 step verification

    Having recently upgraded my PC to windows 10 I was prompted to 2 step verification. the logic and reason is sound. However since doing this I cannot get into my hotmail.co.uk using my iPhone. I found a link to the
    solution when I removed the authenticator app on my phone. Only to find a similar issue dated 2013. I have logged in via my PC running Windows 10, my laptop running windows 7 Professional and an ipad going in via safari. NO WHERE is this option visible.

    Turning off 2-Step Verification
    • In “Signing in & security” section of My Account, select 2-Step Verification. Sign in with your username, password, and verification
      code if asked.
    • Select Turn off 2-Step Verification.
    • A pop-up window will appear to confirm that you want to turn off 2-Step Verification. Select OK
    How can this be achieved. I use emails on my phone for work being self employed and it is causing me issues.


    As this problem seems to have been around for a few years surely there must be a resolution now. I really do not want to have to drop my Hotmail account as it is widely known, but if no solution is available I will have no option.
