Trapped in a loop

Excelente APK SEGURIDAD

Excelente funcionalidad, garantizando nuestra seguridad. Recomiendo su uso.

Horrible app - avoid!

I loved it at first - made me feel safer. However, I upgraded my phone and cannot access my Microsoft files or one drive at all now. The Authenticator app provides a number to use for verification but it never works. I requested help and no one ever responds. Could someone please tell me how to access my files and delete this debilitating app?

App is pathetic

I have tried for 30 minutes to sign in and this app does not work at all!

Work related

It’s a lifesaver

Buggy - still!

Won’t let me add some accounts. Doesn’t respond to requests for authentication.

Lovely

Really great app!!!

Stupidest application of all times

Nothing works, it's useless

Microsoft make everything difficult

Microsoft has so many barriers to getting things accomplished.

Terrible

1/2 the time it doesn’t work!

Too complicated to set up

Way too complicated to set up. You have to have 2 devices to get authenticate

垃圾软件

😅什么叫做你在占用我软件的情况下要我同意批准请求?你占用我主界面了要我用哪个部位给你批准请求?神经设计

Authentificator qui n’authentifie rien

Ayant besoin de Microsoft pour me aller sur mon espace de travail j’ai besoin de passer par Microsoft Authenticator à chaque fois que je souhaite me connecter. Cependant la clef d’accès qui y est enregistrée ne fonctionne pas je suis alors obligé de rentrer constamment mon mot de passe. Une fois cela fait Microsoft m’oblige à créer une clef d’accès pour pouvoir accéder à mon espace de travail plus rapidement. Le fait est que j’ai déjà une clef d’accès donc quand je souhaite en créer une autre cela me renvoie un message d’erreur. Et je dois recommencer la manipulation à 0. Le serpent se mord la queue. Quel site inutilisable ! Résultat des choses je ne peux tout simplement pas accéder à mon espace de travail. Car en effet j’ai essayé de supprimer cette clef d’accès pour en remettre une autre. Malheureusement, une nouvelle fois l’application démontre de sa médiocrité, car cela me renvoie un nouveau message d’erreur. En fin de compte je ne peux pas accéder à mon espace personnel et je n’ai plus de clef d’accès.

No matching numbers

I get instructions to open my Authenticator app and select a number. The numbers never appear. Only a list of code for different apps.

Very clumsy

Terrible instructions

Great Security

Easy to use and add accounts great way to stay safe.

Bane of my existence

This app is the bane of my existence. If the goal is to prevent any productivity and decrease moral, I’d give it a 72% success rate. I spend the majority of my time at work typing in the correct password to my account, opening a push notification, giving Face ID, only for nothing to happen, repeat that process four times till I have to put my password in again, then throwing my phone across the office and having to retrieve it. This app exists merely to proliferate the anguish and tedium of working for a living. Which we do for the sole purpose of making our private equity potentates’ wallets exponentially fatter.

Bill gates is a pedo

Forced to use Microsoft for work.

Terrible never works

This has not worked for me once. Anytime I need to log in it’s a nightmare. I truly hate this app from the bottom of my heart.
