If I lost my QR code in Authenticator to sign in to my Entra Admin center, how can I get it back?

Hello, I deleted my Authenticator app and reinstalled it because I thought it would remove a stuck badge, but it turns out it's a known bug that won't get fixed that way, only through a subsequent push...
Anyway, now the Authenticator app is asking me to reinstate the QR code for my Entra ID access ("Action required") but I can't seem to find that QR code the normal way. If I want to log in to the Entra Admin site it's asking me to 2FA, so you can see now I am in a catch 22. Can someone please let me know how to redo my 2FA? I was somehow able to reinstate my azure account in the Authenticator but I can't find the trick for the Entra part!
