Hi all,
I accidentally deleted my authentication app yesterday and now I can't sign in to my work email. I was stupid enough not to back up my account, either. If I can't access this authentication app then I can't work, it's as simple as that. Whenever I try to sign in, it always wants my authenticator app, even if I put in the correct password.
I need to reset authentication because I have to work in an hour.
It's a microsoft account.
Thanks!
A Microsoft app for iOS and Android devices that enables authentication with two-factor verification, phone sign-in, and code generation

Hi,
Mistakenly deleted my Microsoft identity from the G2FA Google authenticator, how do I reset the account so a new QR code can be generated with which I can relink the authentication device to my M365 account. Its a personal account hence no work admins.

You'll need the work admins to reset the account so a new QR code can be generated with which you can relink the authentication device to your account.
