Whatever it is, somebody at Microsoft made a mistake; it should not prompt you for Outlook Mobile Auth code when that is the actual app you are trying to sign in to, and have no way of retrieving that code. it should have review MS app and if it is Outlook Mobile then move to the next MFA option in your security list.

I mean the error should be better, but there isn't another method. They are turned off.

In this meme yeah, in my account I get the "try another way" link to let me go back to Yubikey auth option. But it shouldn't default to Outlook auth if your are trying to sign in to Outlook, that is just lack of forethought
