    Dear @Kaiden Harkema,

    Good day. Thank you for reaching out!

    I’m very sorry for the inconvenience you’ve experienced, based on the details you shared. There is something I need to confirm with you is  

    Are you having trouble log in to your account because you can’t verify your account through Authenticator app or is it cause by another issue?    

    If this is the case, I would recommend you contact your school account's Admin to reset your MFA settings through the Microsoft Entra Admin Center. Ask your administrator to follow these steps:   

    Revoke MFA sessions and require re-register in the Microsoft Entra admin center  

    Untitled For step-by-step details, see the official Microsoft documentation: Manage authentication methods for Microsoft Entra multi-factor authentication - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn    

    If you’re unsure who the Global Admin is within your school account's organization, you can find guidance on locating them here: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support  

    Note: If you are an admin, please feel free to contact me again.

    We appreciate your patience and are here to help. Looking forward to your response!
