Microsoft Authenticator Description

Use Microsoft Authenticator for easy, secure sign-ins for all your online accounts using multi-factor authentication, passwordless, or password. 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) or two factor authentication (2FA) provides a second layer of security. When logging in with multi-factor authentication, you’ll enter your password, and then 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 one-time passwords (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 one-time password (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.

Microsoft personal, work or school accounts
Sometimes your work or school might ask you to install the Microsoft Authenticator when accessing certain files, emails, or apps. You will need to register your device to your organization through the app and add your work or school account. Microsoft Authenticator also 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. Because Microsoft Authenticator supports single sign-on, once you have proven your identity once, you will not need to log in again to other Microsoft apps on your device.

Optional Access permissions:
Microsoft Authenticator includes the following optional access permissions. All these require user consent. If you choose to not grant these optional access permissions, you can still use Microsoft Authenticator for other services that do not require such permission. For more information see https://aka.ms/authappfaq
Accessibility Service: Used to optionally support features on more apps and sites.
Location: Sometimes your organization wants to know your location before allowing you to access certain resources. The app will request this permission only if your organization has a policy requiring location.
Camera: Used to scan QR codes when you add a work, school, or non-Microsoft account.
Read the contents of your storage: This permission is only used when you report a technical problem through the app settings. Some information from your storage is collected to diagnose the issue.

Comments about Microsoft Authenticator Android Version

Got a new phone and now the app won't work anymore. I can't put the two-digit code in anywhere on the app because the screen never shows up for me. It's just the same sign in screen as on the computer. And "sign in another way" just runs you around in circles. This is the dumbest app on the planet. I cannot access the portal to save my life to be able to work, read emails, etc.

I hate this app. Have to open it, remember a code, go back to the page I am trying to log into, and enter the code within a few seconds. If your app freezes up you get timed out and have to reset passwords. Took me 15 minutes to log into work. It is the most inconvenient app and I am forced to use it for multiple platforms. What a pain. I can't wait until it's determined that this app is a waste of time and gets trashed.

This is a horrible app. After reading several of the reviews, I have been having the same problems as they are having. My phone is right next to my laptop, but it says it is not close enough to the authenticator. Only 1 in 3 verifications codes reaches my phone. I have installed the app on my phone 4 times today...that does not include all the times since December...and it still doesn't work. Microsoft, you need a bwetter app with better directions. This app is GARBAGE!!

Is Microsoft Authenticator safe for my device?

Open up

Yes, Microsoft Authenticator follows the Google Play content guidelines to ensure safe use on your Android device.

What is an XAPK file, and what should I do if the Microsoft Authenticator I downloaded is an XAPK file?

Open up

A file with .xapk extension is a compressed package file. It is a container file format that incorporates APK and additional associated files required for the installation. The XAPK format was introduced to package the APK file and OBB file together for a seamless delivery and installation process. XAPK format can help reduce the package size of application. On mobile phones, users need to install the XAPK installer first, and then install XAPK files through that installer. You can find the installer here:https://apkcombo.com/how-to-install/. But on PC client, you just need to put the file on LDPlayer.

Can I play Microsoft Authenticator on my computer?

Open up

Yes, you can play Microsoft Authenticator on your computer by installing LDPlayer, an Android emulator. After installing LDPlayer, simply drag and drop the downloaded APK file into the emulator to start playing Microsoft Authenticator on PC. Alternatively, you can open the emulator, search for the game or app you want to play, and install it from there.
