Hello community,

I recently changed my phone and recovered my authenticator app using a backup. However, when trying to access Azure, the app is requesting me to regenerate a QR code and scan it. As a result, I am currently locked out of the Azure portal. Can anyone advise me on what I can do in this situation? Thanks.

Best Regards, Ruka

    Ask your IT dept or admin or reset your MFA authentication and you can re-create the profile in your authenticator app after logging in
