i am the sole Global Administrator for my Microsoft 365 Developer tenant. I am locked out of my account <RemovedPII>@lokraj9.onmicrosoft.com because my Authenticator app is not set up on my new device and I have no other backup methods. I need assistance from the Data Protection Team to reset my MFA. I can verify tenant ownership via billing or DNS records if needed

    Hi Lokraj,

    In this case you need to call up the support desk and provide the identity proof as the Data Identification team will cross check the details you provide with the account - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/global-customer-service-phone-numbers-c0389ade-5640-e588-8b0e-28de8afeb3f2

    Hope this helps.
