    Hello @SVITLANA KORSUN,

    Based on the information you've shared, I understand that you're unable to sign in to your student account due to an issue with the Authenticator app.

    May I ask if you have any alternative method to sign-in beside Authenticator? If yes, please try sign-in using this alternative method.

    If you don't have any alternative method to sign-in, please reach out to your school’s Microsoft 365 administrator and ask them to reset your MFA settings using the Microsoft Entra Admin Center.

    If you haven’t yet reached out, here’s a helpful guide to locate your Microsoft 365 administrator: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support  

    Here are some key points to keep in mind:   

    User's image

    You start by contacting the person who originally provided your account, such as a teacher, school administrator, or IT support staff. If unsure who to reach out to, begin with a teacher or staff member you regularly interact with; they can assist or direct you to the right department. Additionally, use your school’s helpdesk portal, support email, or tech support channel for assistance.  

     Ask your administrator to follow these steps:    

    • Go to Microsoft Entra Admin Center: https://entra.microsoft.com  
    • Navigate to Entra ID > Users > All Users.  
    • Select your user account.  
    • Go to Authentication Methods.  
    • Click "Require re-register multifactor authentication".

    This will reset your MFA settings. The next time you sign in, you’ll be prompted to set up the Authenticator app again using a QR code.  

    I hope this suggestion helps. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to leave a comment.

    Best regards,
