Hi Support,

I am not able to login on an organization SharePoint with my guest account. I need to verify my account with the authenticator app and this is not possible anymore since I use a new mobile phone. How can I reset the MFA on my guest account?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @guestWV,

    Thak you for posting in this community.

    You can contact your Azure Active Directory Administrator to re-register for MFA.

    Here are the steps:

    • Sign in to the Azure portal.
    • On the left, select Azure Active Directory > Users > All users.
    • Choose your account->select Authentication methods and click "Require re-registration for MFA".
