Hi there,
Today I enabled MFA on my o365 global admin account.
I have the mobile number and email address configured in my security profile also.
When I tried to sign in I was only offered authenticator app verification.
The app is not configured and when I selected other sign in options I could not select call back or mobile text options.
I called MS to explain the situation and they told me to expect a call from the data protection team.
It has been several hours already, but no one has called back.
Therefore I have called back MS support who just sent another email to the data protection team to solicit them.
I need to do urgent administration work, but can't sign in due to the above problem.
I find this is poor support by microsoft.
Is there any other way?
Thanks

This is why you always should have a "break the glass" account available, I guess you do not have any other account with high privileges available?
Just for test, open a new browser and run it in private mode and test once more. I guess that SMS/Phone method have been disabled, and that's why you can't use those methods.
Do you have a CSP partner, that have permissions to your tenant? They should be able to help you in that case.

Hi Pontus,
thank you for the reply.
I don't have an additional global admin account to fix this.
Also don't have a CSP partner.
I have been waiting 13 hours for a callback from MS data protection team and have not received it yet.
My client is paying MS around $650 for such terrible support.
