Dear @Med Zine ElAbidine,

I hope you’re having a good day.

The error code 399287 indicates that the sign-in process is failing during the identity verification (MFA) step.

Because ******@taalim.ma account is managed by your school, the MFA settings and verification methods are controlled by your organization's Microsoft 365 administrators. In this case, I recommend contacting your admin to verify your MFA configuration or reset your authentication methods.

Your administrator can follow the guidance in the following article: Manage authentication methods for Microsoft Entra multi-factor authentication

If you’re unsure who your administrator is, this article may help: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin?

I hope this information helps point you in the right direction. If you run into any issues while trying the steps, or if something still doesn’t feel quite right, please don’t hesitate to reach out again. I’ll do my best to support you however I can.

Looking forward to hearing back from you with any updates or additional details.

Warm regards,

Hi @Liora D

thanks for your quick answer

Is there a possibility for the engineering team regarding the MFA issue on my account can unblocked my number from the backend and cleared the bad reputation associated with it?

Hi Med Zine ElAbidine,

Yes, if your school's administrator determines that the issue may be related to the phone number or SMS verification backend, they can open a support ticket with Microsoft and request further investigation.

Because this @taalim.ma account is managed by your school, any MFA reset, phone-number verification review, or escalation to Microsoft must be initiated through your school's IT department or Microsoft 365 administrator.

Once access is restored, I also recommend adding additional authentication methods, such as Microsoft Authenticator or another verification method, so that you are not dependent on SMS verification alone in the future.

Therefore, the next step is to contact your school's IT team. They can review the account first and, if necessary, raise a Microsoft support case on your behalf.

Hi Med Zine ElAbidine,

I just wanted to follow up and see whether you've been able to contact your school's IT department or Microsoft 365 administrator regarding this issue.

Were they able to review your MFA settings or advise on whether a support case can be opened with Microsoft to investigate the SMS verification problem and your phone number?

If you've received any updates from the school or have any new information to share, please feel free to post it here. I'll be happy to help you review the next steps.

I hope you'll be able to regain access to your account soon.

Kind regards.

Hello, I am a Moroccan student locked out of my @taalim.ma school account after losing access to my old phone number.

Adding my new number fails with “We ran into a problem. Please try again.” I tested multiple browsers, four phones, and different networks. Changing the country to USA allowed me to pass the CAPTCHA, but the same error returned afterward.

I urgently need a document for my scholarship registration. Please investigate the authentication failure, reset my MFA methods if appropriate, and escalate to Microsoft engineering if a backend verification restriction is present.
