About Microsoft Authenticator

Sign in is easy, convenient, and secure when you use Microsoft Authenticator. Use your phone, not your password, to log into your Microsoft account. You simply have to enter your username, then approve the notification sent to your phone. Your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN will provide a second layer of security in this two step verification process. After, you’ll have access to all your Microsoft products and services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Office, and more.

Microsoft Authenticator also supports multi factor authentication for work, school, and non-Microsoft accounts. The app provides a second layer of security after your password. When logging in, you’ll enter your password, and then you’ll be asked for an additional way to prove it’s really you. Either approve the notification sent to the Microsoft Authenticator, or enter the verification code generated by the app. 

Sometimes your work or school might ask you to install the Microsoft Authenticator when accessing certain files, emails, or apps. You will need to register your device to your organization through the app and add your work or school account. Microsoft Authenticator also supports cert-based authentication by issuing a certificate on your device. This will let your organization know that the sign-in request is coming from a trusted device and help you seamlessly and securely access additional Microsoft apps and services without needing to log into each. Because Microsoft Authenticator supports single sign-on, once you have proven your identity once, you will not need to log in again to other Microsoft apps on your device.

Works when set up but when I had to set it up on a new phone for a family member it asked me to authenticate the account from an authenticator which doesn't seem to exist [Microsoft account] leading me to set it up by email. I downloaded this to verify a windows 10 account and still needed to authenticate the authenticator to make it work. LOL

Absolute joke of an app. Tried to input Hotmail credentials and the app says it needs to be authenticated in the authentication app, but it won't do it. The app just times out. Excellent work Microsoft.

by M####:

I installed it to make sign in easier, but it made it more complicated n frustrating instead. Now when I try to deactivate the administrators to uninstall it, it continuously crashes my settings. Thus, I'm stuck with this app for now. Til I either figure out how to get rid of it or I manufacture reset my phone. Horrible app.

I don't get why this app is necessary... It won't even let me use the app without authenticating my account thru the Authenticator App.... How does that work!?!

M70%
by M####:

This app will not show you the pop-up box to allow you to select your account. Defeats the purpose if you can't actually select an account to authenticate. I would have expected that Microsoft would have fixed this on phones where that button does not shrink. Very poor quality assurance work.

Just needs the ability to save our accounts should we replace our device. Not sure if this is possible.

It requires authentication for app on app it self. Very funny ????????????????Also code does not refresh itself instead timer gets refreshed after 30s itself. Hence it is completely useless.

This app works great for keeping my Microsoft account secure, and to be able to log into it easily. Thank you! :)

Shame that push notifications sometimes won't push through, you have to manually open this app for login approvals to come in

Y70%
by Y####:

WHAT fixes? WHAT features? I'm tired of app publishers assuming we're all incapable of understanding details. Or, is it really something else being added to your phone....

B70%
by B####:

When putting apps in folders "in app drawer" apps don't disappear in main drawer which makes folders useless. Sorting apps in folders is meant to minimize app drawer pages to the lowest possible!

F70%
by F####:

Amazing. I hate typing codes and my memory problem doesn't help a lot. This app makes it way easier. Thanks????

M70%
by M####:

Before you can use the app you need to set it up by adding accounts. When adding an account it advises you you need to use the authentication app to authenticate it. How! If i havent set it up yet?

G70%
by G####:

It's ok, however almost daily, I have problems signing in for work with it. It usually takes 3 or 4 attempts for it to accept the codes.

one of worst bugged apps....it drained my battery from 80% to 34 in just 25 mins and my phone went crazy hot.....please fix it ....

Q70%

Couldn't install without giving access to my contacts. There should be no need to access my private data.

M70%
by M####:

Why I cannot setup for my hotmail account? The app ask for verification code. I tried several time both to get code by email and text message but I still cannot get the code.

V70%
by V####:

I authenticated reddit with this app. When I reset my phone, reddit is gone from the app and I've been locked out of my account. Not to mention, it's not even available on Windows, so if I lose my phone I'm screwed.
