Make sure your DNS isn't blocking activity.windows.com. I have a pihole and once I whitelisted that it worked.
Unable to backup in Microsoft authenticator app
I just got a new phone and MS authenticator wont let me back up my accounts. It vives the message "something went wrong" please send us logs using the send logs option."
I already did that, but Im still unable to back up my data. Could someone help me?

2022-05-07T18:50:17.597+00:00 I have the same exact issue on Samsung S22 Plus as well, it worked always on every phone I've switched and now this weird error. Looking at the threads I think there is something wrong somewhere which should be addressed.
In my thread i've provided logs which shows a "Unknown request" error which leads to that. Proposed steps to try to remove / add accounts are not useful because the issue happens also when enabling the backup with the same exact error.
