Hello,

I saw in the forum that other members here were helped by Microsoft forum staff. I have the same problem that has been described several times.

I have a private Azure account that also runs applications. I am being asked to enter a code from the Authenticator app. However, I never set up a connection between the Authenticator and Azure, and there is no alternative email or phone number stored in the account. Because of this, I cannot log in and need help resetting access to the account. The outlook (live.com) account with same user name works fine. It's just the private Azure account.

As the issue is reported frequently it would be helpful to link the "security reset form" which was mentioned in some posts in a FAQ somewhere for all.

It would be great if a member could get in touch and help me to get my access recovered, as was done in this post, for example.
