I’ve been trying to log into my work email, but when the app sends me to authenticator it shows the number that i’m meant to type somewhere but it does not show a place to put it. With my old phone it used to generate a pop up to type it into, but no pop up or anything appears with the Iphone 14. There is no place to press to change the way of signing in.

    You can restore from a cloud backup (created on old phone) 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. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/back-up-and-recover-account-credentials-in-the-authenticator-app-bb939936-7a8d-4e88-bc43-49bc1a700a40

    The other option is to have the work admins reset the account so a new QR code can be generated with which you can link the new device to your account.
