To remove your phone from your Microsoft account, go to account.live.com, navigate to Security, and then click on Update Info under Update Your Security Info.
To remove your phone from your Gmail account, go to myaccount.google.com, log in (if necessary), and then click on Personal Info & Privacy and Personal Info. If you have your number there, remove it. Also be sure you don’t have a phone number listed under Account Recovery Options. Instead, add an authentication app like Google Authenticator as two-factor.

Email Hacking Check:
Password Protection:
1Password has easy-to-use, polished apps that will work on Windows PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and the major Web browsers. Its Watchtower feature helps you identify and change weak, reused, or compromised passwords, and 1Password walks you through correcting these problems in clear, easy-to-follow language. 1Password protects your passwords with strong encryption and good security practices, and although the default security settings require you to reenter your master password or unlock the app with your fingerprint or face more often than most people will want to put up with, it’s an easy setting to change.
