Windows 10: How do I turn off two step verification for my email addresses on all Microsoft websites?

I have a few email addresses that I occasionally use on Microsoft websites. One I have defined as a personal account and it works fine. The others I defined as associated with my company. Those stopped working due to the authenticator app. If I try to add them to the Autenticator app it asks me to scan a company QR code. I have no idea what is supposed to be in that. If I click on the I don't have access to the Authenticator app it gives me a code to enter into the Authenticator app which doesn't seem to have an input form for it.I have been using Microsoft products since the beginnings

Turning off 2 step verification

Having recently upgraded my PC to windows 10 I was prompted to 2 step verification. the logic and reason is sound. However since doing this I cannot get into my hotmail.co.uk using my iPhone. I found a link to the
solution when I removed the authenticator app on my phone. Only to find a similar issue dated 2013. I have logged in via my PC running Windows 10, my laptop running windows 7 Professional and an ipad going in via safari. NO WHERE is this option visible.

Turning off 2-Step Verification

• In “Signing in & security” section of My Account, select 2-Step Verification. Sign in with your username, password, and verification
  code if asked.
• Select Turn off 2-Step Verification.
• A pop-up window will appear to confirm that you want to turn off 2-Step Verification. Select OK

How can this be achieved. I use emails on my phone for work being self employed and it is causing me issues.


As this problem seems to have been around for a few years surely there must be a resolution now. I really do not want to have to drop my Hotmail account as it is widely known, but if no solution is available I will have no option.
