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.

Ratings and Reviews
Thanks 🙏🏻
This app saved my life in simple way. I got a notification from google about some suspicious activity so i just deleted all my password and everything from google shifted it to microsoft Authenticator and vola. No more passwords getting stolen. I use this for all my accounts it generate random pins every 30 sec i am sure that no one can hack me now.
Reporting an issue
When I try to use my mobile internet data, the round trip to server for MFA is too slow, as a result authentication fails. When I switch to high speed wifi, it works. And believe me, it’s not due to a slow mobile network, because the other apps etc runs just fine using it. So, please check if there is any slowness issue in the latest update of your app. (Btw, I’m using the iOS platform and the app is of latest version as of today, 7th Dec, 2020)
Authenticator is not working properly
Authenticator is not working when it’s trying to send the number for verification where I am receiving notifications for verification when u taps in it then it’s launch the app and show error message and no verification sent but my browser or app say it’s send the verification like 98 or 48. If verification coming as for pin or Face Id then it’s working perfectly
