Windows 10: How do I change my signing in from using a verification code to a regular password?

Whenever I try to log into Microsoft, it always sends me a code to my email to log in instead of simply putting in my password which would take way less time and effort. I'm not sure what is even different about this account in particular since my other two don't have that problem. Please, if there is any way to change how to sign in from using a code sent to my email to using a standard password, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Verification Code for my account & Changing Windows Password

Hi,

Regarding your concern with changing your Windows password, we’d like to confirm if you’re pertaining to the password of your
local account. On the other hand, it’s possible for you to change its password even if it isn’t connected to a Microsoft account.

Additionally, you can check this article that contains
instructions on how to change or reset a local or a Microsoft account. In case that you still have issues with the verification code, you may go through the section:
If you can’t get a security code for the steps. If you’re trying to change the password of your local account, then, proceed to the section:
If you’re trying to sign in to your PC with a local account, not a Microsoft account.

Microsoft is not sending verification codes to sign in with email or to change my passwords, please help!

I am trying to log into a new computer with my microsoft account and unfortunately whenever I input my email which I checked several times, nothing comes up neither in my junk or inbox and I've already tried all of the trouble shooting techniques listed in the guide such as adding the account to the safe sender's list and creating a contact of that email on IOS. However, nothing works and I've then tried to get a verification code to change my password but that code did not arrive either. Tried all of the troubleshooting but to no avail. Is it the microsoft account focused on verification code that is not operational today or is it my email that's broken, please help!
