Hotmail Account Login Not Working for Two Months

I have been unable to sign in to my Hotmail account for about two months. I keep getting the error message, “Sign-in with a password isn’t available. Try another method,” and I don’t understand why I am being forced to use a different sign-in method.

I still have access to the phone number registered to my account, but I am also unable to sign in when I try to verify my identity using that phone number. As a result, I am blocked from accessing my account both with my password and with my phone number, and I cannot use my email address. I also cannot find anyone to directly contact through Microsoft’s support or help channels regarding this issue.

I believe this application is intentionally restricting access in this way to force users to install additional applications on their phones and, through this process, gain greater access to their devices. This situation seriously concerns me from a security standpoint, and I do not consider these practices ethical.

I want to regain normal access to my Hotmail account and be able to use both my password and phone number as sign-in methods without any problems. I request that my account be reviewed, that my access issue be resolved, and that this intrusive security requirement be removed.
