My authenticator app requires me to sign in, but in order to do so I need to input the password in the authenticator app... so I am stuck in a loop.
It gives me an option to sign in via the outlook app, but in order to do so, I have to uninstall the authenticator app, and then when I select the option to received authorisations on the outlook app... the loop begins again.
How can I reset my authenticator?
