    My name is Kenneth. I am an Independent Advisor and fellow consumer of Microsoft products, I will be more than happy to help you. I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble.

    The Microsoft Authenticator app backs up your account credentials and related app settings, such as the order of your accounts, to the cloud. You can then use the app to recover your information on a new device, potentially avoiding getting locked out or having to recreate accounts

    Please try to perform steps in recovering your account using Microsoft Authentication App. Please follow the procedure in the article below:

    I have left a school district and my accounts are locked.

    I have my own MS account and all software/LTs are mine!!

    I would like the authenticator window to stop coming up on my LT asking me to sign into my dead-locked school accounts.

    I cannot get them to go away.

    How do I get rid of this and the districts possible access to my laptops?

    How do I kill these accounts on my side??

    Is there yet some other software to block this?

    It would help to understand what an authenticator actually is and does..in hindsight.
