    To regain access to your account after losing the verification code from your mobile app, you can follow these steps:

    1. Account Recovery: Start by attempting to recover your account. Go to the Microsoft account recovery page and follow the prompts to verify your identity. You may need to provide information such as your email address and any other details that can help verify your identity.
    2. Contact Support: If the recovery process does not work, you may need to contact Microsoft Support directly. You can do this by visiting the Microsoft Support page and selecting the option to contact support. Explain your situation clearly, mentioning that you cannot access your account due to the lost verification code.
    3. Alternative Verification Methods: If you have set up alternative verification methods (like a phone number or email), try using those to receive a verification code instead of relying solely on the Authenticator app.
    4. Temporary Account: As a last resort, you might consider creating a temporary account or trial tenant to submit a support ticket requesting assistance from the Data Protection team on behalf of your original account.

    These steps should help you regain access to your Microsoft Teams account and retrieve your notes and exercises.

    Dear Safia Zahara,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Please understand that our forum is a public platform, and we will modify your question to cover your organization domain name in the description. Please notice to hide these personal or organization information next time you post error or some information to protect personal data.

    According to your issue, I understand you are unable to get the two-factor authentication (2FA) code from the Microsoft Authenticator app accidentally deleted the verification code. Try to use an alternative verification method: select “I can’t use my Microsoft Authenticator app right now.” This may allow you to verify your identity via SMS or email, assuming those backup methods were previously set up. 

    Since your email is a business account, your company IT team or Helpdesk may be able to reset your Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) settings. As general Microsoft Support, we do not have administrative access to change these settings. Only your IT team has the ability to adjust or reset your MFA configuration. You can also refer to this Microsoft support article for more information: Manage authentication methods - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn   

    In case you are the only Global Administrator and you are completely locked out from the tenant. You might need to contact us via phone service number: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support. The agent will be able to create a ticket for you under the affected tenant and then transfer this ticket to Data Protection team who could help you to regain access. 

    If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out. I hope information above can help you resolve the issue ASAP.
