Trapped in an Authenticator Loop
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. Best Lukas
Minha conta Microsoft foi comprometida e o e-mail original deixou de ser reconhecido
Olá, preciso de ajuda para recuperar minha conta Microsoft. Minha conta originalmente usava o endereço email address removed for privacy reasons. Recentemente perdi o acesso e, quando tento entrar ou usar o formulário de recuperação com esse endereço, aparece a mensagem de que “a conta Microsoft inserida não existe”. Acredito que o endereço de e-mail e as informações de segurança da conta tenham sido alterados sem minha autorização. O endereço email address removed for privacy reasons ainda aparece no meu Microsoft Authenticator. Ainda tenho o Authenticator associado à conta antiga, mas o código de verificação não é aceito. Durante uma tentativa de recuperação apareceu o endereço email address removed for privacy reasons, que não reconheço. A conta também ainda aparece associada ao meu perfil de administrador do Windows e ainda consigo acessar minha conta do Minecraft pelo site. Já tentei o Assistente de Entrada e o formulário de recuperação, mas o endereço original não é mais reconhecido. Gostaria de saber qual é o procedimento correto para recuperar a conta ou entrar em contato com o suporte responsável por contas Microsoft comprometidas. Obrigado pela ajuda!
Microsoft values a hacker's disposable email more than your email linked to Microsoft for 8 years
My Pc was compromised and my session tokens were stolen . I had security info connected with my email and phone number . I also had passkey setup on both my pc (after reset) and my phone . It took one click for the hacker to remove the security features . They setup their own security info and added a disposable email instead of mine . I was somehow able to log in to the account using my pc passkey , as it was already signed in . First I requested to change the hacker's email to my one , which was useless cause the wait time period was 30 days . But in doing so I locked myself out of recovering the account with the mail that notified me that my security info was changed . I went to account recovery which only allowed me to change the password not the email so its still connected to the hacker's email . My frustration is the hacker can 1 click change my forever linked email since accounts creation . But when i try to do so they prevents me to do that stating that "there was recent security information change and the account will not allow for additional change for 30 years" . I opened up "account recovery form" and filled it out , point to be noted there were no fields where I could enter my details of my problem they just ask some basic information . After sometime they send a mail stating provided information is not enough . How am i suppose to provide more information if there are no fields for additional information . I contacted Microsoft agent , they guided me to reply to the account recovery form mail which did not worked as I was not allowed to reply on such email . I contacted Microsoft agent again , this time they told me I will be getting an email with account recovery form and I should mention every details . Well it was the same recovery form I used earlier with limited fields . I still field out the form and after sometime I was mailed by mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons to provide additional details for my identify , I was again requested to submit an account recovery form on https://account.live.com/acsr?cs=1 which was the same link with limited fields to provide information . I proceeded but in the end I was told that I have reached the daily limit for submitting form for this account . Just to be sure I mailed mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons the requested details .
Microsoft Authenticator receives repeated unexpected sign-in requests from different countries.
I have received multiple unexpected Microsoft Authenticator number-matching requests over the last few weeks. The requests came from different countries (Mexico, France, and Spain), and I denied all of them. I changed my password after the first incident. My password is unique and stored in Bitwarden. I have Microsoft Authenticator enabled, and I do not use passwordless sign-in. The strange part is that these authentication requests do not appear in my Recent Activity page. Is there anything I can do to stop these requests? I came here because a support representative told me to. I appreciate all your help beforehand.
Frequent Account lockouts
We are having passthrough authentication setup and we see lot of errors recently with the below process Process Information: Caller Process ID: 0x8e4 Caller Process Name: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Azure AD Connect Authentication Agent\AzureADConnectAuthenticationAgentService.exe Users are getting locked out too frequently. The auditing software points to the server where AD connect is installed. I am not sure why this is happening but need your advice and suggestions please. Thank you all.Microsoft Feedback Portal account issue
I changed my Microsoft email a year ago, and it updated everywhere other than the Feedback Portal. As a result, I get an error when I try to login, or do anything on the page. Microsoft account support's suggestion was to login to the Feedback Portal which is insane given I'm having issues accessing it. How can I get this issue resolved? I've got three separate support tickets now and they keep asking me to wait 24 hours to get the issue resolved. Can someone from the Feedback Portal team please contact me to resolve this? This is what Microsoft Support have said: "understand your frustration, and yes—this is an account‑related issue because the Feedback Portal is still tied to your old alias, which causes login conflicts and forces you out. Your Microsoft account itself signs in correctly, but the Feedback Portal is pulling outdated identity data that you cannot update on your own. Since you cannot access the Portal to submit feedback, directing you back there is not a workable solution. What you need is for Support to escalate this to the internal Identity/Feedback Platform engineering team so they can manually correct the outdated alias mapping on the backend. In this situation, the Feedback Portal and Tech Community teams are the ones who manage and maintain that specific platform. Because the issue appears on the Feedback Portal side—even though your Microsoft account is working normally—only their dedicated team can make the necessary corrections on their end. That’s why we are guiding you to connect with them through the links provided: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/ or https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback. They will be able to review the portal‑specific account data and assist you further. I understand why this is frustrating. Since you’re unable to stay signed in to the Feedback Portal, I completely see why posting there isn’t possible for you. However, I do need to be transparent: I’m not able to escalate this issue directly to the Feedback Portal team, as they don’t provide internal escalation channels for us and only accept requests through their own platform."
