I'm currently experiencing an issue with GitHub 2FA authentication using Microsoft Authenticator on my new devices. Previously, I used Microsoft Authenticator on my old iPhone and Mac laptop for GitHub 2FA. However, I deleted the Authenticator app and reset both devices, resulting in the loss of all data.
I have now set up Microsoft Authenticator on my new iPhone and attempted to use it for GitHub 2FA. Although the app generates the verification codes, GitHub does not accept them. I have verified that the date and time settings on both my new iPhone and Mac laptop are correct.
Unfortunately, I did not save the recovery codes in the cloud; they were stored on my old laptop's disk, which is no longer accessible.
Could Microsoft assist me in resolving this issue so that I can regain access to my GitHub account?
