hello MS Technical Officer,

I urgently need technical assistance to access the Client's Sharepoint folders which I need to access for work.

1st issue : I have been locked out of the client's Sharepoint folder after I have changed to a new MacBook Pro (14" - 2021) for work.

From the client's email, I have been invited access to Sharepoint - at the link page, I am requested to enter my password which I did;

next it would ask me to enter the code from my MS authenticator (however, I can never any codes from the authenticator even though I'm logged in with the same work email) - no codes from the app even after 5 to 10 mins of waiting.

2nd issue: I decided to reset my password and re-log in again to both MS site and the authenticator - in hope that it would reset the code sending issue, but this did not resolve the issue. Now the Sharepoint sign-in page keep saying that my NEW password is incorrect.

3rd issue: I had to ask my client to reset my email account and invite me again to the Sharepoint folders; again Instead, my new password can be login to MS website but no longer on the share point login page from the client - I tried twice and it shows incorrect password, even though I am here, already signed in to MS posting this issue on community. I did not want to try the 3rd time in case it gets locked out.

As you can imagine how frustrating this issue is !

Please advise what I should do since it is affecting my work. FYI - I have changed to a new MacBook Pro (14" - 2021) and also a new iPhone 15 Pro - is this reason for this technical issue that I am experiencing ?? I used to be able to log into the Sharepoint folders before and I could receive codes on the MS authenticator app previously as well but no longer now.

Your prompt assistance would be greatly appreciated. you can reach me here or via my work email : ***stn.com

Many Thanks !
