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.

    It takes up storage, but it doesn’t even work and it just waste your time and sends you notifications and half of the things that they say is dangerous or completely safe

    If you think it’s great just wait until you get a new phone. Block out about 8 hours with the IT department

    It had been working perfectly. Now after launch the timer is counting down, but scroll rapidly to the bottom and it’s frozen and timers are not counting down. Scroll back up to the top, those are frozen too. Another entry which I had scanned twice show the same codes sometimes, at other times they show different codes. I am out ASAP. If you cannot rely on a critical application like this, don’t put it up for widespread use.
  • Worst app on the App Store

    Trying to log back into my account on the app after getting a new phone… “enter the code sent to your Microsoft Authenticator app”……… I’M ON THE MICROSOFT AUTHENTICATOR APP!! (If you exit out of the code screen it makes you restart). Even if you try to do it from the outlook app, it will still redirect you and open the Authenticator app…

    Microsoft is so stupid that they make you get an authentication code on the app sign in before you even have the app to get a code

    I won’t be fooled into using one of your apps again! Once I manually re enter all my info into google Authenticator I will be done with you for good.
  • Removing feature to force browser choice

    They are removing autofill and moving it to the Microsoft Edge web browser. It is just greed and attempting to force an ecosystem that I just don’t want to be all in on. I just do not like how Microsoft Edge performs on iPhone.
  • Fix the app
