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

My account keeps getting hacked and someone keeps accessing it. Seven times in one day and now it’s locked and I cannot save it.

So now we have to click to unlock the Authenticator? Really? How many more hoops will you make us jump through to have to use this app? What’s the point?

How are you going to ask me for a code when I’m signing into a new account ON YOUR AUTH APP?????? Why would you ask me for a code??? Makes no sense!!!! I don’t have the auth app on anything else but my phone and I can’t even add a new account because you ask me for a code after signing in. Morons. AND THEN to make it even better, when I say “I can’t use my auth app” to sign into, the only 2 options YOU GIVE ME ARE TO USE YOUR DUMB *** ******** APP.
