    Hello Svyat,

    For Work/school accounts you need to contact the admins of those accounts. So in this case you need to contact the school IT admin to help you with this

    For social accounts you will need to contact their support teams

    If it is a microsoft account contact Product Support with the email address for the affected user. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/create-ticket

    See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xandr/curate/troubleshooting-multi-factor-authentication-mfa?source=recommendations#dont-delete-mfa-app
