Unlinking MFA Token From Office 365 Account

If the end-user has another option to authenticate themselves, please proceed. If they do not and only have 1 way to authenticate, please grab their StarID, verify them via a physical ID, and provide the information to one of the IT staff to reset their MFA option. After doing so, it will take roughly 30 minutes - 1 hours to fully reset. After waiting for the timer, consult with the IT staff and see if the approve request came through. If it did, then you can proceed with the instruction!
