Hi @Sahasra Parthasarathy

An Organization Admin must reset your two-step verification as it's managed at the organization level.

In Atlassian Administration, they must temporarily move your account to an optional 2FA policy (Security → Authentication policies), click Reset two-step verification under Directory → Managed accounts, and then move you back to your original policy so you can re-register.

If your company uses SAML SSO (like Okta or Microsoft Entra ID), your internal IT team will need to reset your MFA within that identity provider.

Best,
