Cannot access my account after code from Authenticator App does not work after I change my mobile
If you have changed phones and lost access to Microsoft Authenticator, you’ll need to use Microsoft account recovery process. You cannot disable Authenticator yourself without logging in, but you can escalate to Microsoft Account Recovery or tenant recovery (for business accounts). This requires proving ownership with billing details, subscription IDs, or domain verification. Once verified, Microsoft support can reset your MFA settings.

Dear Kidd
I went to this URL https://account.live.com/acsr . However it looks like the account is for personal. I have an issue where my personal account on Microsoft has a similar account name in the business account.
So whereever place I go in Microsoft recovery, the system assume a personal account, not a business account
