Stuck in an authenticator loop
I have a 365 Business account. Haven't logged in for a while due to reasons, i was just starting up as a sole trader. Anyway decided now is the time to resurrect it and get up and running, except Authenticator doesn't work because I changed my phone, and my back up email is out of date, and no longer exists. I have tried the support web chat which wants to send a code to authenticator or my back up email. Just called the help line that referred me to the web chat which doesn't work, I couldn't get past the bot. So I am stuck. Any recovery options does not recognise my log in details, i think this is because its been a while since I logged in (I still pay but ....) but I can't resurrect it because I don't have a way of getting a code due to authenticator/back up email as cited above. I am really at a loss as to what to do. I don't want to abandon it and start again as there are documents in my one drive that I need. Can anyone help please. (I think all that needs to happen is an update to my back up email and then I can get going). I am the sole administrator on my business account.RoisMJMBAug 11, 2026Copper Contributor42Views0likes1CommentMicrosoft Teams and Authenticator lockdown
I’m having a very frustrating issue with Microsoft Teams. I am able to log in to teams using my normal personal email and account ONLY ON THE WEB BROWSER. From the web browser, I am not able to access the business channel that I am in. When attempting to log in on the downloaded mobile Teams App, I am sent directly to Microsoft Authenticator, which after waiting several hours, waiting even a full day, is still displaying a message about repeated verification attempt and to wait and try again later. I have accessed Microsoft support chat and they had no help for me. I need the authenticator lockdown to refresh and it will not.AustinNorthcuttAug 10, 2026Copper Contributor33Views0likes1CommentMicrosoft Authenticator & Microsoft Work Accounts
I am moving my data and apps from my previous Android phone to a new Android phone. I have run into a problem with the Microsoft Authenticator app. I have several Microsoft work accounts which Microsoft Authenticator on the new phone says I need a QR code to recover the account. However, when I go to the Security page for the Microsoft work accounts, click on "Add Sign-In Methods", there is no option for an authenticator app. I should point out that I do have Microsoft Authenticator for these accounts installed and working on some tablets and iPads. How do I fix this so I can use my new Android phone? Thank you.Solved118Views0likes5CommentsStrange redirect when signing in - phishing?
I just restarted my Business Standard 365 license today and this afternoon got an email from email address removed for privacy reasons with the following content: But when I clicked on the 'Verify payment information' button I am redirected to a page with the following URL: https://admin.cloud.microsoft/Error/UnAuth?errorCode=100014 looking like this: This looks highly suspicious (Times New Roman font, URL with no top-level extension such as .com, unusual graphics). Is this legitimate or a phishing attempt? Now, when I try to login to admin.microsoft.com to check my account the same suspicious "Sign out and login with a different account" page pops up repeatedly.166Views0likes6CommentsAuthenticator não funciona
Tenho um e-mail corporativo (sou o adm único, nao tem ti) que faço login na conta do powerbi, contudo, meu celular com o authenticator foi perdido e já nao tenho mais acesso, por este motivo, nao consigo mais logar na conta pq ele sempre direciona para o authenticador que nao tenho mais acesso e não abre a possibilidade de receber o codigo por outro meio, (sms ou email). ja tentei vários recursos (chat, telefone do suporte) para recuperar a conta e nao consigo. Todas as opções direcionam para o autenticador. solicito a microsoft que dê uma solução, resetando o autenticador anterior para que eu possa acessar a conta e incluir métodos alternativos de desbloqueio, ou sugira outra solução.47Views0likes1CommentNot able to do an account recovory when 2FA is enabled and Passkeey is half set up

Dear Community, please help! I am trapped in an Authenticator Loop. I've got a microsoft workplace account, but if I want to log in, I have to type in a code from the microsoft authenticator app. I downloaded the app, but in order to use it, I have to log into my account and in order to do so, I also have to type in a code from the authenticator app, which I don't get, because to get the code I would have to log into the authenticator app, what I would need a code for... No matter which link I click, I can't open anything before I enter the code, which I can't get. I am using teams on mac, either on a firefox browser or on the desktop app and the authenticator on an Iphone. Please don't just tell me "don't use teams on a mac", this wasn't my choice. Unfortunately, my emplyer's IT support also is chronically unavailable. So is here anyone who could help me? I've already gone through the usual deleting the app, using another browser etc. options.

I went into my tenant, opened the Entra ID Admin, and enabled passkeys (fido2) authentication. I want to use Google Password manager since it will work across al my devices/platforms (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS). I went into the security settings for Microsoft 365 account to add an authentication method. I am happy to say that "passkey" is listed as an option, so I created a new passkey in Google Chrome/Password Manager and named it after my userid in the tenant. To test it, I logged out and attempted to log in using the passkey. The option came up, but Microsoft complained it was not a valid key. I tried again stating that I would my phone for the key and scanned the QR code but my phone said there is no passkey I would need to create one. How do I solve this? BTW: I did add Google's AAGUID in the Entra admin and allowed it but that did not solve the issue.SolvedEMR88Jul 26, 2026Tin Contributor83Views0likes2CommentsHow do I get support so I don't loose my account?
I have a business 365 account but changed address and so my credit card payments stopped. However, I can't log in to my account because I also have an authentication problem (my authentication app on iPhone is still working but the entry for this account has gone and there is a new one called "Microsoft Entra ID" but when I go to get the authentication code this "Entra ID" authenticator does not produce it). To get help from Microsoft it always asks for authentication. I would like to keep this account and start paying again but I can't find a way to get help to fix the authentication problem because raising a ticket or talking to an agent requires authentication. I got my final warning email today saying Warning—your online services will be deprovisioned and your data deleted in seven days There must be some way to get a call from Microsoft so I don't loose my account and all my data?Solved162Views0likes6CommentsHow to target Azure VPN (Microsoft-Registered) app with Conditional Access Policies?
I have an Azure Point-to-Site VPN Gateway configured using the Microsoft-registered Azure VPN Client App ID (Audience value: c632b3df-fb67-4d84-bdcf-b95ad541b5c8). Everything is working correctly for our users. The issue I am having is that anyone with an Entra account can connect to the VPN and I want to restrict this with a blocking Conditional access policy. I do not want to create a custom app registration, because then I will have to change the 'audience' value on the app gateway and all user's will need to modify their VPN clients. The problem is I need to target the Microsoft-registered Azure VPN app in a Conditional Access policy but it does not appear in my Enterprise Applications list or in the CA app picker when searching. My questions: Why does the Microsoft-registered app not automatically create a service principal in my tenant the way other Microsoft apps do? Is there a supported way to make it appear in the CA app picker without creating a custom app registration or changing the gateway Audience value? Has anyone successfully targeted c632b3df-fb67-4d84-bdcf-b95ad541b5c8 in a CA policy while keeping it as the gateway Audience value?
