    Can't authenticate so I'm locked out of tech support options.


    My Authenticator app has stopped working entirely. I can't generate a code and no security notifications come thru, so I'm locked out of everything from my OneNote to tech support options.I've tried:• uninstalling & reinstalling the app multiple times => no change/reaction whatsoever• clearing the cache of the app => ditto• clearing the app data => at sign in it says my account doesn't exist• begging home support for a way to get in touch with a person in business tech support => they either cut the chat off without attempting to answer, tell me to call the same phone # again
