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.
