Summary

Microsoft Entra ID Account Recovery is an advanced authentication recovery mechanism that enables users to regain access to their organizational accounts when they've lost access to all registered authentication methods. Unlike traditional password reset capabilities, account recovery focuses on identity verification and trust re-establishment prior to replacement of authentication methods rather than simple credential recovery.
