A Microsoft app for iOS and Android devices that enables authentication with two-factor verification, phone sign-in, and code generation
Locked out of sole Global Admin account (Lost Authenticator). Need alternative verification method for Data Protection Team.
I am the sole Global Administrator for my Azure/M365 tenant. I lost the mobile device that had the Microsoft Authenticator app installed (my only MFA method).
Current Situation:
- I know my exact password.
I can successfully sign in to the Azure mobile app on my phone without being prompted for MFA.
However, when I try to log in via a web browser (Azure Portal / Admin Center), I am stuck at the MFA prompt asking to approve the request on the lost Authenticator app. There is no "I don't have any of these" option.
The Roadblock with Support: I already opened a support ticket (Case ID: 2609030030002080) and it was escalated to the Data Protection Team. However, the Data Protection Team strictly requires a phone call to verify my identity.
Due to a severe language barrier (English is not my native language), I could not communicate over the phone. I was advised to call my local Microsoft support number, but it is only an automated voice system with no human agent available for Data Protection issues.
My Request: I am completely locked out of my business operations and stuck in a loop. I urgently need a Microsoft moderator to escalate this and arrange an alternative verification method for my Case ID. I am fully willing to verify my identity via:
MS Teams meeting (where I can use Live Translated Captions).
Email/SMS verification codes.
Providing billing, credit card, or business registration documents securely.
Can a Microsoft representative please look into my Case ID and help me bridge this language barrier with the Data Protection Team?I am the sole Global Administrator for my Azure/M365 tenant. I lost the mobile device that had the Microsoft Authenticator app installed (my only MFA method).
