>Ayuda urgente Authentificator

Question

Estoy escribiendo desde una cuenta de trabajo porque no puedo acceder a mi cuenta personal de Outlook (****@outlook.com)** debido a que tenía activada la verificación en dos pasos (2FA), y uno de los métodos era la aplicación Microsoft Authenticator.

Recientemente cambié de celular y, al migrar, se borraron todas las cuentas del Authenticator. Como consecuencia, ahora no puedo generar los códigos necesarios para acceder a mi cuenta, y no tengo configurado ningún otro método alternativo (como un número de teléfono o correo adicional).

El único lugar donde todavía tengo acceso al correo es en la aplicación Mail de mi Mac, donde recibo mensajes pero no puedo iniciar sesión ni modificar la configuración de seguridad, ya que el sistema me exige el código del Authenticator, al cual ya no tengo acceso.

Solicito por favor su ayuda para desactivar temporalmente la verificación en dos pasos o restablecerla para poder recuperar el acceso completo a mi cuenta.

Quedo atenta a su orientación.

Gracias de antemano.

Hey there! Nice to meet you!

Based on your description, according to Yolanda - MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist:https://learn.microsoft.com/answers/questions/4712924/unable-to-access-my-account-due-to-lost-authentica?forum=outlook_com-all&referrer=answers

"Generally, you must have either the password or alternative verification details to recover your account. With two-factor authentication enabled, you need at least two pieces of information to recover your account, and it cannot be recovered through the recovery form alone; this is a necessary verification step after enabling two-factor authentication.

This process is designed to protect your account, though it can also cause inconvenience. Please be aware that support staff in the community have very limited ability to assist with account recovery issues, as Microsoft accounts are managed by fully automated servers that do not allow manual access. All account security information is managed, stored, and administered by these automated servers.

I suggest contacting an online support agent directly for further guidance. (However, the chances of recovery are still low, and I hope you understand the priority of two-factor authentication. At least as far as I know, there is no scenario where two-factor authentication can be disabled.)

Here are the specific steps required to contact an online agent:

1. Type "Contact - Microsoft Support", then type" Account Issue" in the search box
2. Click on login at the bottom of the page and contact the support staff.
3. Use another Microsoft account to sign in.
4. Under "Products & Services," select "Microsoft 365 & Office Options."
5. Under "Category", select "Manage Account Security".
6. Click on "Chat with Support Agent". Next, fill out the contact information where the online agent can contact you.

Please note:

• Online chat is not supported for corporate/educational accounts. If you do not have a personal account, please create a new @outlook.com account to use it.

• Online chat services are provided during local working hours on business days."

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards,
