    For personal Microsoft accounts, Microsoft now says you can no longer add a phone number as a new security method. Their current support article states: “For increased security, you can no longer add a phone number” when adding a new way to verify sign-in.

    See the first and last items in the gray text box.

    You will have to use the existing options that are offered.
