Microsoft Authenticator Features and 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) 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. 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 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 Autofill 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.

To resolve these issues with Microsoft Authenticator, we will start with troubleshooting the service itself and then account issues, then potential problems with your device. Let's get started:

  • Hello I've had to redownload the authentication app and now I can't get it to work as it ask me to sign in with my mircrosoft account but then asks me to enter the code into the authentication app which I cant do as its asking me to sign in . Its a catch 22 situation.

  • Got a new phone because the old one turned off and wouldn't turn back on.

  • I switched phones without the knowledge of how this literal shit works. Now the new phone is having issues, and i'm pretty much logged out of every microsoft service because whatever i try to do, it asks me to authenticate, which then is not possible, and then it asks me to set up authenticator, which in turn need to be fucking authenticated with the app that is not yet set up!!! I mean, really, what kind of illiterate asshole has set this up to run around in circles like this......
    The account in question is either [email protected] or [email protected]

  • Hi,

    This is not a technical issue, but the microsoft support linked me here and told me to send my issue here. This doesn't really seem like the right place to send it but it is what I've been told to do.

    I've recently received unrequested authorization approval requests on my authenticator. Looking at the account login attempt history of my account it appears someone has been trying to login with frequent requests. I understand this is not too unusual however there were two cases where they got to the stage of making a request to my authenticator which did concern my greatly regarding my account security. Inbetween the two requests I changed my password to a new one and then the second request came in. Is it possible they got to the request stage without having my password or does the request mean they got my password for sure?

    Essentially I am trying to figure out if they got my password and whether or not I need to be concerned about all my accounts, or if they just used a forgotten password field and prompted the authenticator request. The session type was unsuccessful sign-in, request denied in app.

    Thanks,

    Michael Daw

  • 1. I had an older device that I was using until first week of Feb 2023 where I had first installed Microsoft Authenticator
    2. This phone got damaged recently and I had to switch to a new device
    3. I installed the app on the new device (Redmi Note 12)
    However, when I try to use Microsoft Authenticator to access documents shared by customers with Microsoft sign in + 2FA I don't get notifications on the new phone - I think this is going to the old device which I'm unable to access since it's damaged.
    4. I'm using a personal account
    5. I have tried accessing https://aka.ms/mfasetup but get this error: Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft Services' and cannot access the application '0000000c-0000-0000-c000-000000000000' in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a different account.

  • I returned to work yesterday after leave and my Microsoft Authenticator App (6.7.5 on iPhone XS, iOS 16.3) has stopped functioning. I receive push notifications to authorize activity but if I click Approve or try to open the App I see the splash screen but this then goes blank and returns me to the home screen.

    I have several client MFA accounts hosted within the app so if I will lose all of these associations if I uninstall and reinstall then uninstalling is not an option for me.

  • I got a new phone and I'm looking to transfer the backup of my authneitcator account to my new phone. Problem is I wasn't aware I needed to do anything about this and I no longer have access to the old phone. On the new phone I can see that there is a back up available from the old phone, old authenticator, that was uploaded to iCloud. When I tried to recover it's telling me that the backup wasn't associated with my microsoft account, I assume I haven't associated an email with the back up at all. Is there a way for me to still restore this backup?

  • I lost my phone and the restore process wasn't successful. I have connected all my accounts with Authenticator, including Facebook. After days of contacting Microsoft Support and researching online, since November 5th the day after I lost the phone, I found that I need to remove the device from the Website, Additional security options. But my account type is personal and most of the actual solutions are for work or school accounts. Facebook isn't offering other log in options besides the Authenticator code so, I need this to be solved. Will be waiting for your reply.

  • Hi there,

    I contacted Microsoft support about an issue that I had with Microsoft Authenticator.
    The ticket number is 1044921324 for your reference.

    The issue is someone stole my phone with the Authenticator on. The cloud backup option is not activated by default in Microsoft Authenticator, so when I installed the Authenticator on a new phone, I realized that I had lost all the key generators for non-Microsoft products (such as Instagram, Facebook, etc.).

    Is there any way you can help me access these code generators for the non-Microsoft products?
    For instance, Instagram has no way to have my account back if I do not use the code generator inside Microsoft Authenticator App.

    Please help me solve this issue,

    Regards,

    Francesco

    I was referred to you from general MS support. I recently upgraded phones. I want to ensure my old phone with MS Authenticator will be deleted completely. The old phone will be used as a trade in. I already uploaded MS authenticator on my new phone. I followed your support page and blog sites to remove the app from the old phone. It says:

    To remove the app from a device using a personal Microsoft account, go to the two-step verification area of your Account Security page and choose to turn off verification for your old device.

    There is no phone linked.

    All good, Andy. I have already documented everything in my end. This time you'll need to reach out to our Microsoft Authenticator app, they handle issues relating to TSV/ Authenticated accounts, in instances where they lost there phone, number and anything related to it. Please save our case number as well as a reference, I already noted everything in my end., nothing to worry.

  • Microsoft Authenticator app iCloud backup not working.
    When I open the app on my iPhone 13 mini, it says "Sign in to update your backup - Your backup is out of date. Sign in to your account [email protected] to back up your latest changes." I then press the Sign in button on the notification.
    Another notification comes up that says "Something went wrong. Please report an issue using the Send feedback option."
    I pressed "Send logs" and submitted Incident ID: 78D7HEJ

  • My authenticator got logged out of my 365 account [email protected] and it wont let me into my account without it. When I try to log back in to authenticator it tells me to log in using a code from the authenticator. I am locked out in an infuriating loop!

  • I used the authentication app in our admin email but I accidentally deleted the account in app. So every time I tried to log in, it keeps telling me that it needs the code. But since the account in app was deleted, we can't have an access to the admin email. This is our business email that's why I need to fix it as soon as possible this is the email [email protected] I hope you can fix this issue.

  • Salve. Ho già inviato una precedente mail per spiegare il mio problema. Problema abbastanza grande perché a causa sua non posso utilizzare altre app Microsoft, tra cui Microsoft teams. Ora ripeterò il mio problema dell'app Microsoft authenticator: praticamente nel momento in cui io voglio aggiungere un account istituzionale nell'app di autenticazione, mi si chiede un codice che arriva nella stessa app.
    Lo stesso problema è stato riscontrato da questa persona https://docs.microsoft.com/answers/questions/547966/how-to-get-out-from-a-ms-authenticator-loop-when-a.html

    È effettivamente un loop. Per favore aiutatemi a risolvere questo ENORME PROBLEMA. Grazie.

  • I had the authenticator app on my Samsung Note 20 Ultra and I had a Cloud Backup activated with [email protected] as the recovery account. When I opened the Authenticator app on the new phone I bought (Samsung S22 Ultra), instead of clicking Begin the Recovery, I logged myself in with the same account, and the recovery wouldn't open. And I activated the cloud backup and didn't recover it either. So I would need to access the previous backup where I had several Instagram accounts 2FA codes.

  • Buongiorno, sono De Giacomo Ludovica, ultimamente sto riscontrando problemi all'app "Microsoft Authenticator". Nel momento in cui cerco di aggiungere un account, in questo caso quello dell'Università di Napoli Federico II, mi chiede il codice di verifica sulla stessa app. Ovviamente non ricevo nessun codice, poichè l'accesso lo sto facendo nella stessa app. Come posso fare? Il problema me lo dà solo nel momento in cui cerco di inserire la mail istituzionale, con la mail personale no, poichè il codice mi arriva tramite SMS.
    In attesa di una sua gentile risposta
    cordiali saluti

    Ludovica

  • Hello. I have spent close to 3 hours this evening trying to access my school email account with the use of this app. Each attempted log in it has told me to enter the code send or to authenticate the log in. However the app does not allow any of these things to happen and quotes an error message each time despite the app being open. Please can you highlight a way to overcome this as I have no access to emails that are quite urgent. Best wishes and thank you for your help.

  • I need to get into my school Microsoft account for university, but I cannot sign into Microsoft Authenticator for the two step verification and I don’t have access to my phone number to receive a text or call because I am currently on vacation in another country. Microsoft Authenticator requests for the Authenticator itself to verify my login when I try to login to my McMaster account on it. This results in a repetitive loop of me trying to sign in to Microsoft school account and then the app in order to do the two step verification. I would really appreciate help with this as I need to get into my school account urgently.
