    How do I regain access. I am trying to set up a new computer that I got from my work " Comcast " and when I try to sign into the new computer it asks me to approve the sign on from my Microsoft authenticator app that I don't have access to because its on an old phone that I factory reset and don't have access to anymore. I need help IMMEDIATELY. I absolutely hate the authenticator app and think its a complete waste of time. No thought went into creating that piece of garbage.

    New Microsoft Authenticator app version for Android and iOS - Nov. 12

    Two factor authentication (TFA) is easy, convenient, and secure when you use Microsoft Authenticator. Use your phone, not your password, to log into your Microsoft account. Just enter your username, then approve the notification sent to your phone. Your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN will provide a second layer of security in this two step verification process. After youve signed in with two factor authentication (TFA), youll have access to all your Microsoft products and services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Office, and more.
