Answer 1

You can restore from backup (assuming there was one) but make sure no accounts have been added to the newly install app. Then sign on with recovery account to do the restore.

You can recover your account credentials from your cloud account, but you must first make sure that the account you're recovering doesn't exist in the Microsoft Authenticator app. For example, if you're recovering your personal Microsoft account, you must make sure you don't have a personal Microsoft account already set up in the authenticator app. This check is important so we can be sure we're not overwriting or erasing an existing account by mistake.

I'd ask the vendor if their product provides any method of transfer.

If you still have access to your Tenant (EntraID), then you can look up your user and re-register a device this will remove the current device.

After registering the new device you should be able to log in as normal.
