Need help recovering deleted Authenticator entries or restoring from backup

Hello,

I accidentally deleted a 2-Factor Authentication (TOTP) entry from my Microsoft Authenticator app.

I still have other active accounts in the app, but I need to know if there’s any way to restore the deleted entry from a cloud backup, iCloud backup, or Microsoft account sync.

Specifically, I’m trying to recover the 2FA code for a third-party service (Kryptex).

Can you confirm if Authenticator stores old entries anywhere, or if restoring a previous backup of my device or Microsoft account will bring that entry back?

Thank you,

Robert McVoy
