- Authentication Administrator
- Privileged Authentication Administrator
HTTP request
Delete your own Microsoft Authenticator authentication method.
DELETE /me/authentication/microsoftAuthenticatorMethods/{microsoftAuthenticatorAuthenticationMethodId}

endpoint.
Delete your own or another user's Microsoft Authenticator authentication method.
DELETE /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/authentication/microsoftAuthenticatorMethods/{microsoftAuthenticatorAuthenticationMethodId}
Request body
