Microsoft Authentication 2-Factor Cloud Backup Issue Deleted Old Backup Microsoft Authentication 2 App , How Restore
"My problem is that before resetting the phone, I had taken a cloud backup of the Microsoft 2-Factor Authentication app. However, after resetting the phone and reinstalling the Microsoft Authentication app, I signed in with the same account, but the backup did not restore.
When I checked the cloud backup in the app, it showed a date of 2025-01-10, but the backup itself was not visible. I then clicked the 'Cloud Backup' button to toggle it off and on, and this action deleted all my old backups.
How can I restore my old backup now?"
