Authenticator app not working on new phone - old phone with app is gone
Hello Tech Community, I have trouble with my email (hotmail) account. About 12 months ago I downloaded and activated the authenticator app after having hackers trying to enter my hotmail account. A few months ago I changed my phone and I have never been asked for second factor authentication until today (so I did not pay much attention to it as I could see it. The phone number attached is old and have no access to it and that device is long gone too). BIG PROBLEM! I have the app on my new phone but it is not linked to my account (and cannot do a Cloud Recovery). If I try to do anything with my account (forward emails or change anything) it asks me for the authenticator approval/code (that I do not have access to). I am scared about doing something that will log me out of my email (which I still have access to) but cannot make any changes nor log out. Please help. Can I deactivate the authenticator app somehow? or re-set it-up to work again? Can I migrate all my emails to a new account so I do not lose years of information if I get logged out? Can I set the forwarding emails option without having to pass by second facto authentication? Looking forward to hearing from you wise community, Thank youAdding Distributed COM Users group in the built-in groups for AD
I came across this question from one of my connections in my network. "A user was added to the Distributed COM Users group in the built-in groups for AD however it seems to be doing nothing for allowing that user to access dcom on the servers. Isn't the point of the built-in groups is that they are already defaulted to the correct permissions and setup on object in the AD structure? Is there a way to test? An effective access on an OU with that group was done and it was all denied. Is this the right way to test those particular permissions" I suggested the following: As the added users are not able to access the dcom server. In that case it is good to check the dcom remote access permissions in the component services. Remote access and local access should be enabled. If it is not then any user part of distributed com users group will not be able to access the dcom servers. Let me what are your thoughts on this. Thanks.
