I lost my phone. In that phone is my Microsoft Authenticator account. Now I want to sign in to my Microsoft Authenticator account on my new phone but I can't. Because it requires an authentication code in my old phone. What should I do? I can't sign in to Microsoft 365 without a Microsoft Authenticator account. Please help me.

    Sounds like you'll need an account admin to reset the account so a new QR code can be generated with which you can relink the authentication device to your account.

    Is there any way for me to contact the account administrator?

    I'd like to message the account admin for help with this issue.

    Thanks
