Windows 10: Can't log in to authenticator to authenticate, cant log into account to activate authenticator

I reset my password after realising i forgot it. Now i'm getting asked to log in through my authenticator to accept the sign in request, but when i try to log on to my authenticator, it requests i log onto a windows app to accept the sign in request? I am stuck in an endless loop and am unable to reach out to support, I've been "Next in line" for the past 3 hours.It also does not let me send a code through text stating "There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later."Please help, random netizens

FireFox Account Sign in Authentication Issue

I don't have an answer, but maybe something here can help. (It looks like maybe the time sync for codes is off. It's in one of these posts.)

Logged out of Microsoft authenticator

Hello,

I got a new phone and I was unfortunately logged out of Microsoft apps. I use things like Yammer and authenticator to communicate with my work colleagues.

When I go to log into Yammer I am directed to authenticator to log in, however I was logged out of authenticator as well so it just comes up with a message saying ''access denied''. I do not have any verification codes to restart it that way nor do I have a QR code.

Is there a way I can restart this?

 

Microsoft Authenticator

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you want to how the Microsoft Authenticator App works.

The Microsoft Authenticator app helps you sign-in to your accounts if you use two-factor verification. Two-factor verification helps you to access your accounts more securely, especially while viewing
sensitive information. Because passwords can be forgotten, stolen, or compromised, two-factor verification is an additional security step that helps protect your account by making it harder for other people to break in.

You can use the Microsoft Authenticator app in multiple ways, including:

• Respond to a prompt for authentication after you sign in with your username and password.
  
• Sign-in without entering a password, using your username, the authenticator app, and your mobile device with your fingerprint, face, or PIN.
  
• As a code generator for any other accounts that support authenticator apps.
  

I suggest you refer to the article for more information on
What is the Microsoft Authenticator app?and you may also
refer to the article about Microsoft Authenticator app FAQ

However, let me point you in the right direction where you can get the appropriate assistance regarding this issue. I suggest you to post your query in
Microsoft Authenticator App forums
where we have expertise and support professionals.

Hope it helps.

Zaki
