100% commiseration. A client called me with the same problem recently; he thought he was doing something wrong. I remoted to his PC and I was equally stymied by confusing prompts, and links leading to paths which only looped back to the original page.
He contacted Microsoft and waited 6 days for a call back. After another 3 days to and fro with them, he finally got his password reset.
I understand Microsoft's advice was to set up multiples of all the MFA methods the account allows.
On the bright side, we both learned something. And, maybe this will reduce the number of people who barrage IT for help with thier hacked and hijacked personal Outlook and Hotmail accounts.

I commiserate with you
Went through this when my client provided a new 'work' phone. My experience is very similar, except I chose the text message route and my MS accounts are linked.
No message, wait the required time, and resend. Voila! text message. "You've entered the wrong code". Umm, no, I didn't. A while later another code shows up in a text message, but it had expired. Rinse and repeat. Got smarter, waited a while and got lucky it came in time. Which then generates another we sent you a code message.
This time, nada. Turns out it went to my other phone, lol.
The instructions were unclear, to say the least!

Good luck waiting!
Had that kind of issue with a client/neighbor of mine. Couldn't log into OneDrive as she didn't know the password to her Microsoft Live account. Didn't even know she had one, as her daughter set up the laptop a couple of years ago, didn't take note of it and doesn't remember.
Went through all those trials and tribulations for two days, including trying to prove that she was really the person she said to be. After two weeks she gets an email from Microsoft that they can verify her identity and thus can't reset the password...
That's why I always set up new computers with a local password, or use a dummy email account account and immediately uninstall OneDrive once I get to the desktop (and set up a local user next, and/or enable the local administrator account and take good note of that password).

I was worried about that so I just kept waiting until I could finally get a reset code successfully sent to me.
I finally did get a reset code and was able to set the password again.
It's a crazy process!

That's a solid idea.

I have an .swf version of this demonstration (same audio and all!) dating back 2012. (My unreliable memory insists that there there were versions several years before that). One of the major reasons why I obtained a standalone .swf player when web browsers dropped support for flash formats was to play 'universe.swf' for friends.

You didn't zoom out far enough.

A year ago this MIMXRT1170-EVK board would have made me cry. Real tears.
As it is, it puts up a heck of a fight. I mentioned some war stories several posts ago and have now progressed to trying to use the board's relatively generous SDRAM, and also write my program to the board's external flash - unlike most ARM Cortex M chips, these boys don't have embedded flash. It's external. It's cool because you can add your own flash to it in whatever size and spec you need, but it makes things complicated.
Somehow writing my previously working program to flash (rather than debug-injecting it directly into SRAM) is causing SPI send errors and is running extremely slow.
I'm trying to copy the contents to SDRAM and run it from there, which should be doable, but the flasher refuses to write my code when I configure it that way, despite it compiling and linking.
In the end I'd like to boot off of microSD which this is capable of but it's black magic.
It's fits and starts with this board. I hit walls, make a bit or even a bunch of progress, and then back to the barriers everywhere i look.
I do not like NXP's documentation.

Take a break and some distance, get busy with something else for a while, relax a bit and you probably will find a hack or a new way to do it as you usually do.
