I will off myself because of this app

Tell me how I’m supposed to get into the authenticator app when the authenticator app is asking me to verify via said authenticator app in order to use the authenticator app??? Is whoever designed this app actually fit to be in the workplace?

Pity I can’t use google

Honestly worse Authenticator I’ve used. Date you try to resister a new phone doesn’t work so locked out of important work emails when your on the road with your device honestly so dissatisfied

Useless App

In order to use this App I need an authentication code to log in, which I can get from this authentication app, but unable to get said code because I’m not logged in. Microsoft, can you see the issue here?

Poco funcional

Con esta aplicación no deja ni si quiera avanzar a teams, solo me pide que introduzca el número en la aplicación cuando el número generado se dio en la propia aplicación, te hace perder tiempo y aparte espacio innecesario en tu teléfono, no sé por qué decidieron hacer esto con teams pero solo hace que batalle al ingresar desde mi celular

Terrible

Unneeded and has held up coworkers. It asks for me to sign into my work Microsoft account, but then it tells me to open Authenticator app to get the code. When that’s the app I’m literally trying to sign into. This has gone for months

FAQ

What is Microsoft Authenticator?

Microsoft Authenticator is a mobile application designed to enhance online security. It provides multi-factor authentication (MFA), passwordless login options, and password autofill capabilities for various online accounts, including personal, work, and school accounts.

How does multi-factor authentication work with this app?

When MFA is enabled, after entering your password, you'll be prompted to verify your identity. This can be done by approving a notification sent to the app or by entering a time-based one-time password (OTP) generated by the app. These OTP codes refresh every 30 seconds and do not require a network connection.

Can I use this app for non-Microsoft accounts?

Yes, you can add multiple accounts to the app, including non-Microsoft accounts from services like Facebook, Amazon, Dropbox, Google, LinkedIn, and GitHub. This allows you to manage security for a wide range of your online presences from a single application.

Is Microsoft Authenticator free to use?

Yes, Microsoft Authenticator is a free application. There are no costs associated with downloading or using its core features for authentication and account management.

What are the benefits of using passwordless login?

Passwordless login allows you to sign into your Microsoft account using your phone instead of a password. After entering your username, you approve a notification sent to your phone, and then use your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN for a second layer of security. This streamlines the login process while maintaining strong security.
