    Microsoft Authenticator App on Android


    I have the authenticator app on Android, setup to use a personal Microsoft Account for recovery backup.

    I want to change the backup to use a different account.

    When I disable and re-enable the backup it never asks for an account. Instead it uses the previous account that was entered. I have even tried removing the initial account from the device and added the new account I would like it to use to no avail.

    So how do I edit the backup location to use a different account?


    This has been raised previously, went unanswered and has since been archived from the technet forums:-

    CAN SOMEONE FROM MICROSOFT PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION?

    :)

    New Microsoft Authenticator app version for Android and iOS - Dec. 18

    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.
