Windows 10: Please Help: Authenticator is Not Calling OR Texting: LOCKED OUT.

Oh please help this is for work. I am locked out of the system because this stupid authenticator nonsense is demanding that I reset my password but when I go to reset it: It will neither send the call or text and then errors with something to the effect of: "We're sorry this isn't working right now please contact your Administrator"...Well I just spoke with my Admin and there is nothing wrong on that end with my account.

GMAIL 2FA Authentication Question

Thanks for replying. Apologies, but I was reluctant to use the link that you supplied. I do not want to remove text and call. I do not want text or call to be the default options which it is now after I reset my password. I want to add Use Backup Codes to the main options as well as the GOOGLE Authenticator option.

Which is why I am still mulling over the option to remove my phone number and disable 2FA and start over. I'm hoping if I do that and do not enter my phone number first I will get the options back of using the Backup Codes and the Authenticator app and then add my phone number and hopefully this time the phone number will not be the default option. What do you think?

Microsoft Account set to use 2 Factor Authentication & Authentication Phone App but it doesn't prompt for authentication when signing in to my Windows 10 PC locally or remotely (via RDP).

If you activated the two-step verification for your Microsoft account, you should be prompted to enter the security code whenever you log in your credentials. To further troubleshoot this issue, we suggest checking the methods found in this

Once on the page, scroll down to the column that says I am not receiving a text or call on my phone and follow the steps provided.
