Locked out of my personal Azure account due to MFA

Question

Locked out of my personal Azure account due to MFA

Jeremy Brooks 602 Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I'm currently locked out of my Azure subscription due to issues with MFA in my authenticator app. I can login to my MSA account to view email/ect but unable to access the Azure or Entra Portals. I can provide my account details via private message.

Appreciate the assistance restoring access to my tenant.

Hello Jeremy Brooks,

The issue pertains to a tenant lockout, where no other global admin in the tenant has the necessary permissions to login and make changes in your tenant.

To resolve this, we have engaged our Data Protection team through a support ticket. They will reach out to you via email or phone to help restore access to the tenant and assist in resolving the issue.

If the resolution was helpful, kindly take a moment to accept the answer and upvote it 👍 it as a token of appreciation.

I am also having similar issue. Microsoft just left that loophole unresolved. People who sub Azure with personal account just cant sign in to Azure. Worst part is they would have already given banking details for a subscription which cannot be cancelled. Can someone tell me if this issue is resolved?
