    Dear Trent,

    As a forum moderator, I am not able to reset the verification methods on a school account. My role here is limited to providing general guidance you can apply from your side. If you set up another verification method, such as a phone number, try selecting Sign in another way on the sign-in screen.

    If that isn't an option, please contact your school's IT administrator. They can reset the multifactor authentication for your account so you can set up Authenticator again the next time you sign in. Your administrator can find the steps here: Manage authentication methods for Microsoft Entra multifactor authentication - Microsoft Entra ID 

    If you don't know who your IT administrator is, please refer to this article: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support 

    I hope you're back into your account soon. Feel free to reply if you need anything else.
