microsoft 365 admin center
12 TopicsCan't access Microsoft Authenticator for business accounts
Hello. I am the tech support for a small church, where I am the admin for our MS 365 accounts, which are set up as "business accounts". I have been using Microsoft Authenticator for MFA for years. Recently I switched to a new phone and installed Microsoft Authenticator. All of my personal Authenticator accounts transferred over just fine, but all of the church's business accounts say "Scan the QR Code provided by your organization to finish recovering this account". The thing is, I am the "organization" and I don't know how to generate any QR code to recover the accounts. It was suggested that I could do something about this by logging into my Microsoft 365 administrator account, but when I try to log into my admin account, the only MFA option is "enter the code from Microsoft Authenticator". It's not offering a text or alternate email, only Microsoft Authenticator, which is what I'm locked out of. So I'm stuck in a loop. I opened a ticket with Microsoft Support nine days ago. I have received one phone call since then. The support person insisted that they needed to talk to the account's "alternate administrator", which I set up as my pastor, who is pretty computer savvy but not a deep IT person. They tried to call him one time, but he was not available to answer right then. There has been no communication since then. I'm hoping someone in this group can help me figure this out.160Views1like1CommentCan't Login to Authenticator App
I am unable to login to my Microsoft 365 Business account, because I'm unable to login to my Authenticator App. I am also the only administrator on my business account, so no one in my organization can help me. Microsoft online support and phone support just keep sending me in circles. The only way I see to create a support ticket is to login, but my issue is that I can't login. Help, please!220Views1like3CommentsBest setup for multiple machines
I have a live account for my email address as I have a surface and originally registered for an account to use for machine backups, browsing syncing etc. I also use onenote and wanted it syncing to a 365 onedrive account so I signed up for office 365 business basics so that I could sync onedrive and all of the associated attachments, audio records etc to it. I would love to use use the paid business account but I cant sign into the surface with the business account, only home accounts as I dont have pro. The next issue is that I use another laptop, android tablet and phone also signing into the business 365 account. These all used to sync fine but now, all other devices disconnect as the one you have signed into it connects. Not a major issue, you sign into the device you want to use, sync and then continue However i jump from device to device that often that it starts to grate on me that i cant just grab a device and sync. Is there any way I can register each device so that they are trusted and then more than one device can stay connected.161Views1like1Comment
