It seems the solution is "wait". It started working again before support was available.

We also got this error, and it seems to be something regarding MFA not working or maybe canceled by user

Hello, @spankin @robertrenner @jesoj Thank you for submitting feedback.

In our understanding the error code that you have noted might actually have surfaced from other services rather than _Windows Hello_ itself.

Find below a quoted reply from our Content Developer:

For error codes unlisted here, in most cases those are transient error codes
being surfaced by other services in the Windows Hello dependency chain.

We are working on something to improve the user experience in that regard,
but that will not solve the issues you are experiencing.

If we find a reoccurring error codes that isn't covered here and should be
(meaning, in most cases, it is coming from Windows Hello and not other
components) we'll make sure to add it to this page.
