A Microsoft app for iOS and Android devices that enables authentication with two-factor verification, phone sign-in, and code generation
New phone and can’t access Authenticator app
I recently got a new phone and since then I haven’t been able to use the Microsoft Authenticator app. When I try to sign in, the only verification option shown is the Authenticator app. Unfortunately, I don’t receive any notification or code there, and there’s no way to choose SMS or email verification instead. I’m now completely locked out of my account.
It keeps asking me to approve the sign-in through the Authenticator app and shows me a code that I’m supposed to confirm there — but nothing ever appears in the app. Even when I try to add a new account in the app, it asks for Authenticator verification again! I am the only Admin and I have a private and a business account - both have the same problem. I’m getting really desperate.
I’ve already tried:
Reinstalling the Authenticator app
Enabling cloud backup
Using my phone number on the account
- Contacting phone support in Austria (no success coming through so far)
