    Hi Swapnil,

    I got the below information from one of the Q& A Blog, I hope it helps you


    Can you access your account via browser right now? If yes, you can follow the instructions below to set the Authenticator app on your new device:

    1. Go to Security & Privacy page > choose Additional security verification > Update my phone numbers used for account security.
    2. After that it will open a new window. You will see your Phone is listed and you can choose Delete.
    3. Choose Set up Authenticator app and it will open a pop-up box with QR code so that you can configure the app on your new device.
    4. List item If you cannot access your account via browser, please contact your Office 365 admin and disable MFA for you and remove the lost device. After that, enable MFA so that you can configure the Authenticator app again on the new device.

    Found a working solution here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/217085/i-can39t-log-back-into-my-microsoft-authenticator.html

    What you have to do is go to https://mysignins.microsoft.com and under security and info you can manage log in verification methods. just delete Microsoft authenticator as an option and then re add it and it will allow you back in!!! I have just discovered this after two hours of troubleshooting.
