As Christian mentions you can use SSPR for this. But we went a step further. We created a logic app connected to the incident management system. Whenever a user loses access to their MFA device or other scenario the helpdesk can trigger this logic app by creating a ticket. This sends out a TAP to the users's SSPR email address which is their private email address. Using the "authentication administrator" role the logic app could only create a TAP for a non admin users preventing privilege escalation attacks. Additionally the helpdesk has no permissions to view or edit these emails they can only trigger the logic app by creating an incident.
