So i recently had this happen. I set up Microsoft authenticator on my phone, found out our IT team wants us to use Google authenticator for some reason, hit the disconnect from device button... And got an infinite loop of being redirected to the Microsoft app, and clicking the "cant access" button brought me back to... The Microsoft authenticator app.

Had to ask IT to delete my 2fa on their end and try again.
