Awful

I’ve been trying to log into for half an hour, I still can’t.

I hate it

I needed a code and it wouldn’t give me any kind of code. I then tried to do some other sort of method of trying to get into it and both I had to use this app and the app didn’t have either of the options. I then tried to resign in on this app and it told me it sent me a code TO THE APP I WAS TRYING TO SIGN IN ON SO OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULDNT WORK

Worse app ever

Wanting to sign in to access my college stuff and I can only do that if I enter a verification code which should be on here but nothing pops up and it always say error worse app ever. I can’t access anything. Shocking

Doesn’t work for me

Doesn’t work for me

it is an awful app

for one can’t even log onto teams, asks for a code yet doesn’t give you the code you try for who knows how many times doesn’t give you the code then proceeds to tell you that they’ve sent you a code but clearly haven’t. Another problem is try clicking any code thing then click can’t use authentication app right now guess what? it doesn’t do anything just sends you back from where you came from. overall review awful app and hope to never use it again once i leave school.

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.
