    Microsoft Authenticatior


    Hello,I accidentally logged into the authenticatior on my email on a new phone and when I logged into it, it must of saved over top of my data that was already saved there. I logged back out and instead of logging in again I hit the begin recovery process and when I entered my password in to start the recovery it said there was no data to recover.. and I need to get the scan codes I have on that account back.. can anyone assist in telling me how to regain what I've lost?

    :)

    Authenticatior app unable to be removed

    Im trying to remove the Microsoft authenticatior app, but its unable to be removed from my account, it just says: "Microsoft Authenticator app could not be removed

    We could not remove the Microsoft Authenticator app at this time."

    I removed the account from the app but still it refuses! (I use a personal account if anyone is wondering)

    Thanks Jecca. In that case, I suggest contacting the Microsoft Authenticator forum for the next steps, as this is not related to Home consumer which we support.
