Outlook logins are driving me mad, is there any way to stop this ridiculous loop

Detail of the issue is every time I try to login i am met with the screen of how I want to sign in. Every time I just want to select my password. But 50-70% of the time that's not good enough for Outlook. It will tell me that the password login is not available right now...why is this ever a thing? Then instead I have to play a game of puzzles and give my phone number 4 digits in order to play the game.

Every time I try to login it then asks me to make an email to authenticate or use an outside source other than my email to authenticate my account. Like, no, I don't want to do that. And it runs me through this charade every time I try to login. I'm absolutely sick of this and just want to change email at this point due to the issues but worried about having to update all my accounts and missing some.

This is the absolute worst system I've ever used. It used to be I could just use the password which I made for my account to login but now it seems it wants to do everything in its power to stop me from accessing my email. It is ridiculous.

Right now I'm stuck on having to use another email for authentication...I don't have another email and don't want more than 1. I'm just so sick and tired of this.

Please any help with stopping this nonsense and just being able to use my password like it should be? Failing this, is there any way to quickly/automatically get all emails linked to this sent through to a new one I create because I can't keep doing this every time I try to login.
