Hello,
I'm having issues to switch to another B2C tenant because the MFA code I've saved doesn't work. I can login to my global / root tenant, but when I switch directories it asks me for a MFA code and that doesn't work. My colleague has the same issue. Can you please help us out in gaining access to the tenant again? Quite the same as this one: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/865606/unable-to-switch-to-my-directory-because-phone-wit
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Marc

Anonymous2025-09-12T01:58:59.67+00:00 Hello @Marc André Freiheit
I understand you're experiencing difficulties accessing your Azure B2C tenant due to an MFA issue.
If there is another global administrator in your Azure B2C tenant, they can help you with reregister MFA for your account.
Your global Admin has to follow the below steps to reregister your MFA for your account.
- Admin has to login to Azure portal and access to Microsoft Entra ID.
- Once done they have to go to user's blade on the left.
- Click on the user account (your account) which is unable to login to Azure portal.
- Click on Authentication methods and click on “Require re-register multifactor authentication”.
- Now when you try to login to Azure services it will prompt you to register for MFA again.
If there is no global admin except you in your Azure B2C tenant, please share the requested details with us in the Private Message. Kindly check your Private messages and reply back.
Thanks

Sometimes, I can't write comments as it doesn't let me enter anything and I can't access the private messages although I'm logged in. We're kinda stuck on this issue.
