    Hi Ammar,

    Please add a new Authenticar first, which you can do from your account settings: https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info and follow the steps to set up a new Authenticator, and once it is done, then you can delete the old one from there.

    If you're on a personal Microsoft account, your settings are at account.microsoft.com instead.

    Cheers:

    Ramesh
