My azure tenant is lockout

2026-02-17T21:07:43.46+00:00

I am currently completely locked out of my Azure tenant.

I am the only Global Administrator of the tenant, and Contact information removed for privacy I still have my account password, but I am unable to sign in because I no longer have access to the MFA authentication method.

This is a full tenant lockout situation, as there are no other Global Administrators in the tenant who can reset or reconfigure my authentication methods.

The subscription associated with this tenant is an Azure Developer subscription with credits. At this moment, I cannot access, manage, or even view the resources under the subscription due to the enforced MFA requirement.

I need assistance to recover administrative access to the tenant as soon as possible.
