Cannot add MSN email to iPhone 18 Pro due to missing verification code

I just received a new iPhone 18 pro and cannot add my MSN email

After selecting “Outlook”, typing my email address & password, I get to the point where it says its sending me a “Code” however I receive no such code. I’ve checked everywhere. Is there a way to have it send the Code to my other email address rather than text? It seems to get lost somewhere. Is there something else I need to do?

Install the Microsoft Authenticator app from the App Store to help set up your MSN Mail account in the Apple Mail app on your iPhone or iPad. During the sign-in process, Microsoft may ask you to verify your identity using a code or an approval request sent to the Authenticator app. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the verification and finish adding your MSN Mail account to Apple Mail.


Note: The verification method may vary depending on your Microsoft account’s security settings.
