Windows 10: "Try another verification method" message on my account when trying to sign in for months now

Hi,I've been using my Microsoft Account for three months and not too long ago, I couldn't sign into it at all.

Add gmail account to outlook without text message verification?

It's actually Outlook (near as I can tell) thats wanting to use the text message option? In Outlook I go to File > Add Account Entering the gmail address is fine, and entering the gmail password goes Ok. The next step is "Send text message". And if I select "try another way to sign in", I get the same "get a test message with a verification code". No way to get past this Outlook verify it's you screen?
