Azure resources not found

Question

Azure account can no longer find resources after forcing a 2 factor login, New screen shows up and can not find resources. (filters set to "All" ...?)

Answer 1

The new sign-in/2FA flow likely changed either the directory or the subscription context, so the portal no longer shows the resources even though filters are set to “All”. This is a common cause of “resources not found” symptoms.

Use these checks in order:

1. Verify the directory (tenant) after 2FA change
   In the Azure portal, select the account icon in the top-right corner and confirm that the correct Azure directory is selected. If the wrong directory is active, switch to the directory where the resources were originally created. If the wrong directory is selected, the portal will show No subscriptions found and no resources.
2. Confirm subscriptions are visible and accessible
   Still in the portal, verify that there is at least one subscription listed and that the account has sufficient permissions. If the correct directory is selected but no subscriptions appear, the account might not be an Owner/Contributor on any subscription and will not see resources. In that case, have the account added as an Owner on the subscription.
3. Check All resources view and filters
   Go to All resources and ensure:
   • The Subscription filter includes the subscription(s) where the resources live.
   • Other filters (resource group, location, type) are cleared or set to include the expected values.
   • Use the search box to search by resource name.
     The All resources pane can be customized, so if a saved view is hiding items, switch back to the Default view or edit/remove filters.
4. Confirm the resources actually exist in the selected subscription
   If still not visible, use the portal’s All resources list with broad filters (all subscriptions, all resource groups, all locations) and search by name. If the resources were deleted or exist in another subscription, they will not appear and operations against them will return NotFound/ResourceNotFound errors.
5. If signing in shows the wrong account automatically
   If the browser keeps signing in with a different Microsoft account (for example, a work account instead of the account that owns the Azure resources):
   • Clear browser cache and cookies, or
   • Use a private/incognito window and sign in only with the account that owns the Azure resources.

If, after selecting the correct directory and subscription, the resources still do not appear in All resources with filters set to include everything, the resources are either deleted or in a different subscription/tenant than the one currently in use.
