Hi Team,

I’ve changed phones and forgot to enable cloud backup for my Microsoft Authenticator app. I’m now unable to sign in to my email. I’ve tried contacting customer support, but I’m repeatedly directed to aka.ms/pwr, which hasn’t resolved the issue. I have an active Microsoft 365 subscription.

Could you please assist with resetting my MFA or providing an alternative sign-in method so I can regain access?

Thank you.
