Microsoft Outlook Account Locked Me Out for Six Months

I have been unable to access my Microsoft Outlook account for approximately six months. My account email address is a*************@hotmail.com. Despite trying repeatedly over the past hour, I have been completely unable to sign in to my account.

I have changed my password three times so far, but I still cannot log in. During the password recovery process, I am repeatedly asked to provide a backup account for verification. However, whenever I create a new backup account, I am then asked to provide yet another backup account in order to continue. Because of this endless loop, I cannot receive the security code or regain access to my account.

My account contains all of my banking passwords and other important personal information, so this situation is causing me serious inconvenience and raising significant security concerns. I request that this issue with the backup account and security code verification process be investigated, that I be provided with an accessible way to verify my identity and account ownership, and that my access to the account be restored.

Otherwise, I would like to state that I am considering taking legal action due to the serious inconvenience and security concerns I have experienced.
