Hello, I have been having trouble with this for quite some time. I downloaded a microsoft authenticator for a game once, and began to use it because it was an effective way to keep my stuff safe, of course. But, to sum it all up I can not log into my authenticator, because I can not log into microsoft, because I have deleted the email for that account, and microsoft says the email doesn’t exist. I can not log into anything using my microsoft account, including my xbox account. I have my authenticator backup codes, but don’t know how to use them or where to use them. I need help so desperately. I have been dealing with this for 3 years and decided to finally ask. Keep in mind, I can not back anything up. The account to back up is gone. I’m just wondering if I can do something with these codes? And possibly change the email to the account without having to get a verification code sent to the non-existent email?
