Solved Signing in using MS Account using Web Browser via MS Auth App with No Internet on Phone?

I just setup 2FA using the MS authenticator app with Send Notification Approve Sign In method.

But when I am not at home, I do not have Internet access or cellular data on my phone.

How could I select the "Use Verification Codes Instead" within the MS Authenticator app?

As you can see here from the screen shot, this is the way I have it setup.

In the near future, I may even setup Password less.
But like mentioned, when I am on the go, my phone does not have Internet connection.

So how and where do I get to see the option to use or revert using the OTP Verification Codes?

2. Select "set up a different Authenticator app"

EDIT: But it seems that even when you have OTP code, there is no way to use it, MS will not allow it as an option anymore.

You do not have to do it, passwordless works automatically, even when you use a password. Password can be used as 2FA.

The only way is probably to use passkey saved in an offline password manager.
