Hello,
I accidentally deleted a Microsoft Authenticator entry tied to my Microsoft account. I did not disable 2-Step Verification before deleting it, and I do not have an iCloud or other backup.
I need help confirming if the deleted Authenticator entry can be restored, or if there are any possible recovery options to regain my 2FA codes.
This issue is urgent because the deleted Authenticator entry is required to access my Rockstar Games account.
Thank you for your guidance.
