Microsoft Authenticator

Description

Use Microsoft Authenticator for easy, secure sign-ins for all your online accounts using multi-factor authentication, passwordless, or password autofill. You also have additional account management options for your Microsoft personal, work or school accounts. Getting started with multi-factor authentication Multi factor authentication (MFA)provides a second layer of security. When enabled, during login after entering your password, 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 one-time password (OTP) generated by the app. The OTP codes have a 30 second timer counting down. This timer is so you never have to use the same time-based one-time password (TOTP) twice and you don’t have to remember the number. The OTP doesn’t require you to be connected to a network, and it won’t drain your battery. You can add multiple accounts to your app, including non-Microsoft accounts like Facebook, Amazon, Dropbox, Google, LinkedIn, GitHub, and more. Getting started with passwordless Use your phone, not your password, to log into your Microsoft account. Just 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’ve signed in with two factor authentication (2FA), you’ll have access to all your Microsoft products and services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Office, and more. Getting started with autofill Microsoft Authenticator app can also autofill passwords for you. Sign-in on the Passwords tab inside the Authenticator app with your personal Microsoft account to start syncing passwords, including the passwords saved in Microsoft Edge. Make Microsoft Authenticator the default autofill provider and start autofilling passwords on apps and sites you visit on your mobile. Your passwords are protected with multi-factor authentication in the app. You will need to prove yourself with your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN to access and autofill passwords on your mobile. You can also import passwords from Google Chrome and other password managers. Microsoft personal, work or school accounts Sometimes your work or school might ask you to install the Microsoft Authenticator when accessing certain organization resources. You will need to register your device to your organization through the app and add your work or school account. Microsoft Authenticator 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.

Microsoft Authenticator App stopped opening on my IPhone

The Authenticator app has been working flawlessly on my phone since I downloaded it over a year ago, I was on a trip for couple of days and wanted to login to my email account from another IP. I tried to open the app from to authorize my login, but the app close by itself immediately. I’ve restarted my phone several times and tried every other me methods I’ve seen online but none of them has worked so far. I’ll lose access to my account if I delete the app.

School

I’ve noticed that this app only works once on my connected to my school account after that one time it never works. I believe that this app just doesn’t work on iPhones and will be uninstalling it.

THIS IS A SCAM APP TO STEAL ACCOUNTS

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP AND SIGN INTO AN MICROSOFT XBOX ACCOUNT. WHEN YOU DO THAT ALL ANYONE NEEDS IS YOUR EMAIL TO TAKE OVER YOUR ACCOUNT AND CHANGE THE PASSWORD. IF YOU HAVE ANY BANK INFO LINKED TO YOUR XBOX ACCOUNT WHEN IT GETS TAKEN, CANCEL YOUR DEBIT/CREDIT CARD IMMEDIATELY.

What have you done?????

The newest version of this app is SUCKING battery power from the phones of my team members and myself! You’ve obviously made some sort of coding error which needs to be rectified immediately.

Can’t produce 6 character codes

My job uses MFA but only 6 characters. The app produces 8 characters with no option to select only 6. That’s some bull

Buggy, impossibly awful garbage

This app is insane, as it asks you to open the app to retrieve a code when the app is already open.

Enter number authentication.

Since moving to the “enter the number” (as opposed to just approve or “pick the number”) it been a fairly awful experience. The number box is tiny and half of the buttons are covered by the keyboard leading to a lot of mistaken “This was the me” selections. The Yes button is at the bottom, forcing you to scroll the list… and the only way yo scroll it is to use the other buttons to scroll it leading to a lot of “is it going to think I’m scrolling or clicking?”
