'GitHub device verification email not received

After reinstalling windows on my machine, i have tried to login to my Github account using the same user-name password stored in the browser with my Microsoft account...

with Sign in to GitHub Username or email address page: its seems to accept the credentials (tried with email as well with username) and then navigate to the next page saying: Device verification code We just sent your authentication code via email to y**************@hotmail.com.

But I never receive any email!!! not in inbox or junk email beside the GitHub Community Summary..

i am afraid to try the Forgot password option - because perhaps it get the auth issue even worse.
