I need to delete an account from authenticator app. I have searched online, including youtube. A couple different ways were shown but none of them worked the way they showed or described. How can I delete an account from authenticator?

    I have tried everything.... the authenticator was ran through my previous employer and I still can't load my new outlook email. I have removed devices, deleted apps etc.

    Hi Glenn,

    I followed your suggestion, only to realize that the 'accounts' are from my previous employers and they are 'greyed' out and there's no response if I tap on them.

    Is there another way to resolve this?

    Thank you,

    Sri

    I go into settings but I can't find anything about authenticator. I open authenticator and click on settings and the only thing it brings up is changing the time setting.

    If there was a way to delete accounts that way I would love to know what I need to do differently.
