Trouble verifying your account. Error Code: 50089

Hello,

I have received a notice that the subscription price for Minecraft Education will increase, but I am unable to cancel it because I can’t access my account.

I am trying to sign in to my account, but I cannot receive the verification code via SMS - the system does not send it. I have verified that the phone number is correct, but no code arrives, so I cannot complete the sign-in/verification process.

When prompted for identity verification, I do not receive any code on my phone, and I have no access to other backup methods (additional phone, email, authenticator app).

I have already checked:

  • phone number is entered correctly,

my phone is able to receive SMS,

I have not blocked messages from unknown numbers,

I am not using any VPN or proxy that could interfere with delivery.

I have already tried all the solutions offered on support.microsoft.com, but none of them work.

Because of that, I am completely locked out of my account. I kindly request that you manually review my case and reset or remove the multi-factor authentication requirement for this account, so I can regain access.

Here are the details of the error for your reference:

Error Code: 50089

    Hi @Egor Zubenko,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum, and I’m sorry to hear you're completely locked out of your account.

    Based on the information provided and the accompanying screenshots, it appears that the affected account is an administrator account. If this is not the case, please advise so that I can recommend more appropriate solutions.

    Regarding your situation, please kindly follow these steps to help regain access to your account.


    1/ Please check to see if there are other IT admins in your organization who can help you with the reset MFA for your account and share with them the steps outlined in the article Manage user authentication methods for Microsoft Entra multifactor authentication. This will help them assist you in resetting your MFA settings and restoring access to your account.

     


    2/ If you're the only admin, in this situation, the Microsoft Data Protection Team has tools and processes in place to verify identity and regain access to administrator accounts. You can try reaching out to our Global Customer Service phone to raise a request for resetting your authentication method here: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support.

    Please note that forum moderators do not have access to user account settings and cannot assist with logging in, resetting passwords, or changing access rights. While we do not have access to internal systems or administrative tools required to resolve account-specific or backend-related issues, we’ll continue doing our best to support you within the scope of our responsibilities.   

    Here are some tips and an example of a prompt to help you navigate the IVR more effectively:     

    IVR: What kind of problem are you concerned about?   

    You: Authenticator.   

    A: What products do you use?

    B: Office 365 for business.

    Verification: Education or company account?

    B: For companies

    A: Are you an administrator?

    B: Yes.

    A: Are there any other administrators in your organization?

    B: No.

    IVR: Do you need a... Service request?

    You: Yes. I need to create a ticket. Please send me directly to the Data Protection Team.


    3/ As an alternative, you can create a new tenant account and submit your request from there.

    To set up a new tenant, please follow these steps:

    Visit Microsoft 365 Business Plans and Pricing | Microsoft 365. This would allow you to create a new tenant following the prompts provided. Once set up, you can access the admin console of the new tenant and submit a support ticket requesting to speak with the Data Protection team on behalf of your previous tenant.

    Follow the guided setup process to create a new account for a new tenant.

    Once your tenant is created, you should be able to access the support portal and submit your ticket referencing your locked account without further issues.

    In your ticket description, you'll need to clearly explain that you're trying to regain access to your previous Microsoft 365 tenant and need help from the Data Protection team. Here's a message you can use or adapt:

    "Hello, I’m currently unable to access my previous Microsoft 365 tenant due to losing MFA access, which prevents me from receiving verification codes. I’m the global admin, but I’m locked out and unable to generate a QR code or bypass MFA.

    I created this new tenant solely to request assistance. I kindly ask to be connected with the Data Protection team to verify my identity and help me recover access to the original tenant.

    This is urgent, as I rely on Microsoft 365 for my work and have been unable to operate for several days. I’m available to provide any documentation or verification needed to support the recovery process."

    Ticket Support: In the Microsoft 365 Admin Center > Support > Help & Support.

    Please remember to cancel the trial subscription once your issue is resolved to avoid any unintended charges.

    I hope this helps you regain access to your account quickly. I'm glad to assist and truly hope the information provided has been useful. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you need further assistance.
