Azure asks for 6-digit OTP code meanwhile I don't enable it, so I'm locked out of Azure account

I configured my account signin options as in screenshot #1: Enter password, Email a code, Text a code, Send sign-in notification, Use a passkey, With my Samsung.

I can log in to Microsoft account but cannot log in to Azure Portal because it asks for 6-digit OTP code, which I haven't configured it whatsoever. Even when I select "Sign in another way" > "Approve a request on my Microsoft Authenticator app", actually there is no request sent to my Authenticator app.

It seems that my Azure account is de-sycned with my Microsoft account security settings. How can I log in Azure now?
