Is there a way to revert to an earlier back up on ms-authenticator

Question

I accidentally overwrote my ms-auth cloud back up earlier today and I was wondering if there was a way to revert to an earlier back up with all my auth connects still intact.

Answer 1

No. Once a Microsoft Authenticator cloud backup has been overwritten, there is no supported way to revert to an earlier backup state.

The current backup can be deleted and recreated, but that only affects future restores and does not bring back previous authenticator configurations. If access to accounts is lost because of the overwrite and the backup account itself cannot be used to restore, the only supported path is to re-add those accounts manually, following each provider’s recovery process. If the backup account cannot be accessed, use the Microsoft account sign-in helper as documented.
