    Hi @Linda Mediano

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum!

    In this article from MS you will find several ways to try to recover your authenticator.

    https://support.microsoft.com/pt-br/account-billing/solucionar-problemas-usando-o-microsoft-authenticator-a3a74493-566b-4c2e-b949-a2789bac0fd3

    If this isn't possible, go to https://aka.ms/mfasetup to check your verification methods.

    Or better still, when you get to the second window, there's an option: I CAN'T USE MY MICROSOFT AUTHENTICATOR APP NOW. In this option you can register a new phone number and Microsoft will call you to confirm your details.

    Have a nice day.

    Sincerely,
