Hi Hanuman-Ganesh, since you have already cleared your cache, tried multiple browsers, and used Incognito mode, this endless loop isn't a simple browser glitch. It happens because your account's security handshake is failing behind the scenes—usually due to a conflict with an active "Passwordless" setting or a corrupted multi-factor authentication (MFA) token tied to the Microsoft Authenticator app.
To break out of the loop, try these targeted bypass strategies:
Use the Direct Security Link: Instead of logging into the main dashboard and clicking through to settings, try navigating completely fresh to [account.live.com/proofs/manage](https://account.live.com/proofs/manage). This forces the system to load the advanced security info gate directly.
Force an Alternative Sign-In Method: When you hit the login prompt, look for the option that says "Sign in another way" or "Use a different verification option". Instead of letting the app auto-approve or prompt you, explicitly choose to receive a standard SMS text message or a backup email verification code.
Check for Work/School Interferences: If you use your personal computer or browser for a school or corporate Microsoft 365 account, Windows might be forcing your enterprise security policies onto your personal login. Go to your Windows settings (Settings > Accounts > Access work or school), temporarily disconnect any work or school accounts listed there, and then try logging into your personal dashboard again.
