Hi @Richard Kelly

If it's not possible to use a backup to restore Authenticator configuration on your phone , unfortunately , the only solution is to ask your administrator to reset your MFA registration for your Azure account. For other account you should use recovery procedure for each site (Linkedin, facebook .ect)

For other sites you have to use recovery process for each site in case of lost of your phone.
