Protects your online identity

Features & Capabilities

Microsoft Authenticator enables easy, secure sign-ins across accounts using MFA, passwordless login, or password autofill. You can add multiple accounts, including non-Microsoft services, and use time-based one-time passwords (OTP) that work offline and don’t drain your battery.

For personal, work, or school accounts, you can register your device with your organization, enable certificate-based authentication, and access Microsoft apps and services securely without needing to sign in repeatedly.

User Reviews

User reviews are largely negative. The most frequent issues are circular sign-in loops that require approving in the Authenticator to sign into the app itself, and failures to deliver or generate codes. Many users report unreliable cross-device syncing and difficulties migrating data when switching devices or platforms. Lockouts and poor recovery options further complicate access, along with unclear or unhelpful error messages. A few reviewers say it’s easy to use when it works, but overall reliability issues dominate feedback.

Pros

Easy to use / user-friendly (noted as "Superb app easy to use")
Good (positive brief feedback)

Cons

Circular login loop that requires approving in the Authenticator app to sign into the app
Codes are not delivered or accessible; cannot obtain authentication codes
Unreliable cross-device syncing and difficulties migrating data between devices/platforms
Getting locked out of accounts and limited recovery options
Poor or unclear error messaging and user guidance

Recent reviews

This app does NOT backup to iCloud, and if you upgrade your phone, you won’t be able to log in. You will be stuck in an authentication loop, as you need a code to access your MS account, but Authenticator isn’t working. If you select “use different method” it will ask for an Outlook.com email. If you don’t have one, you are completely locked out of your account

Vetcor REQUIRES that everyone who works for them, use this god forsaken app. It is utter and complete garbage. Every single person at my job, including the manager, had a very hard time using this. Typical Microsoft garbage.
