Hello ,
I lost my phone over a year ago and I had a few apps locked under the authenticator app. I was wondering if there was any way to recover them accounts on my new phone through the authenticator app? I still have access to my emails and I have the app but I had no cloud backup.
Please let me know if you can help.
Thank you in advance :)),

    Hi,

    you can ask AAD admin to reset MFA so next when you login it will allow you setup MFA on new phone.
