Authenticator app not responding

I have an ongoing problem using the Authenticator app when trying to access a Microsoft Guest Team. I go into Teams and click on my username - I see a list of tenancies that I am members of, the Microsoft Guest appears on the list, I click on that and it asks me to login in using Gmail emails address. I then get a message saying Approve sign in Request and a two digit code for me to enter into the app. When I open the app there is no option to add the two digit number anywhere, the request then times out and I'm back to the start.

    Hi Sarah,

    It seems the Auth app and authentication is going in the loop, in this case you will have to contact the admin and request to reset the MFA authentication. - howto-mfa-userdevicesettings
