Not able to do an account recovory when 2FA is enabled and Passkeey is half set up
I am not able to log into my personal account.
I have tried account recovery, but I have 2FA set up so I go a message saying this is ignored.
I have rest the password using 2FA but when I try to login the message is that I can not use password to login.
I beleive my partern loged me out of the account and tried to log in to her account but instead started Passkey set up.
I have needed to login with my company account even to raise this post.
Any help would be great.

You cannot sign in because your Microsoft account is locked in a state where password login is disabled and 2FA/passkey setup is incomplete. You may be required to use the Microsoft Account Recovery process, which relies on identity verification to re‑establish trust and issue a Temporary Access Pass so you can re‑register authentication methods.
