About Microsoft Authenticator

1. 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.

2. Use Microsoft Authenticator for easy, secure sign-ins for all your online accounts using multi-factor authentication, passwordless, or password autofill.

3. Make Microsoft Authenticator the default autofill provider and start autofilling passwords on apps and sites you visit on your mobile.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Sometimes your work or school might ask you to install the Microsoft Authenticator when accessing certain files, emails, or apps.

9. 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.

10. Microsoft Authenticator also supports cert-based authentication by issuing a certificate on your device.

11. You also have additional account management options for your Microsoft personal, work or school accounts.

Microsoft Authenticator Customer Insights

1. You don't even have to create passwords or pins, the app does it, and the passwords are much stronger than mine.It's a little bit of a hassle if you don't have everything linked already or a second email or cell phone number but I believe that's the point a little extra security without all the hidden technology words for those who need to put an " extra tie on the bag " to secure information, memories & doc's.

2. I like apps that are consistent in performance & function; this one always works well.Compared to some other Auth apps, this one offers some of the best, free account functional features! I think the most annoying part of it is the clunky UI.

3. Backup experience could be improved by prompting to restore from a backup when logging into the app for the first time (as in, if you didn't see the tiny text at the bottom to restore from backup and just logged in normally).

4. While setting it up after uninstall, it kept prompting to confirm a 2 digit code that didn't appear on my phone.

5. It's just as easy to use your password.I love this app! It completely simplifies the forgotten passwords and pins problem.

6. (2) On each device, there is often a different code for the same account; accounts may not appear on all devices.

7. But otherwise, it works for basic Auth needs.(1) It seems to work differently on each device.

8. It goes off constantly with an ongoing notification that is highly annoying and disruptive when trying to use my device for work.

9. Easy to navigate, just follow simple directions and click, connect, link, and done ✔️Needs work.

10. There are other things we track passwords for...When it works, it's great.

11. I have *A LOT* of accounts (as a strong infosec proponent) so trying to find a specific one is a hassle.

Steps to Troubleshoot & Fix Microsoft Authenticator Issues

1. Fix Microsoft Authenticator Not Working/Crashes/Errors/Unresponsive & Black/White screen:


  1. Restart Microsoft Authenticator: Restarting the app will resolve most errors.
  2. Update the Microsoft Authenticator App. Here is how:
    1. On Android goto PlayStore » Search for "Microsoft Authenticator" » Open Microsoft Authenticator » click "Update".
    2. On iPhone, goto AppStore » Your profile » Available Updates » Check for Microsoft Authenticator » click "UPDATE".
  3. Clear Microsoft Authenticator app cache: Clearing cached data will force your app to retrieve the latest data directly from Microsoft Authenticator servers.
    1. On Android, goto Settings » Apps » Select "Microsoft Authenticator" » click Storage » click "Clear Cache".
  4. Check Microsoft Authenticator app permissions. If any of these permissions required to use your device's features are disenabled, Microsoft Authenticator might not work.
  5. Uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Authenticator. If nothing else has worked, completely uninstall Microsoft Authenticator then reinstall.
  6. Restart your device. Last, restarting your device can often clear most problems causing Microsoft Authenticator not working


2. Fix Microsoft Authenticator Server issues & Internet Connection


  1. Check network connection: An unstable Internet will make Microsoft Authenticator be unable to connect to it's servers. Ensure your wi-fi is working then restart app.
  2. Disable VPN: VPN can cause connection errors and lead to Microsoft Authenticator not working. Make sure all VPNs are off
  3. Enable background data: When Background data is turned off, Microsoft Authenticator may not be able to connect to the Internet when running in the background.

When I went to sign in to an account and use the app for two-factor authentication, no account is listed aside from my Microsoft account. I didn’t know how to access different websites that require the code if they’re not showing up and how I can sync it to get the codes!

  • Subject: Login Problem for guju227@redacted Account

    Dear Microsoft Support Team,

    I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance with a persistent login issue I've been experiencing with my guju227@redacted account.

    The problem I am encountering is related to the Microsoft Authenticator app. When attempting to log in to my account using my password, I am prompted to either "Approve a request on my Microsoft Authenticator app" or "Use a verification code from the Authenticator app." Regrettably, neither of these options is available to me due to an issue with the Authenticator app.

    The specific issues are as follows:

    1. **No Account in Authenticator App:** My guju227@redacted account does not appear in the Microsoft Authenticator app, making it impossible for me to approve requests or generate verification codes.

    2. **Login Loop in Authenticator App:** When I attempt to add my account to the Authenticator app, I encounter difficulties, and this leads to a continuous loop of login problems.

    This ongoing login problem is causing considerable frustration and inconvenience for me. I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue as soon as possible. I rely on this account for various professional and personal purposes, and the inability to access it is hampering my productivity.

    Please advise on the steps I should take to resolve this issue, whether it involves correcting the account setup in the Authenticator app, addressing any potential configuration issues, or any other necessary measures to enable me to access my account smoothly.

    Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. I understand that resolving such issues may require specific technical expertise, and I am prepared to provide any additional information or perform any necessary actions to facilitate the resolution process.

    Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your prompt response.

  • I recently purchased a new phone. I transferred my authenticator to my new phone via the "back up" option. Unfortunately, the app on my new phone defaults to a password lock to be accessed. I've never set up a password for my authenticator on my previous phone so I've been locked out of the authenticator completely. I don't know my password.

  • I am the administrator and sole user for the Office 365 account - rmehl@redacted. Yesterday, I was prompted for the first time to use MFA to access any of my apps on my laptop. I followed the instructions -- downloaded the Authenticator App and registered. When I try to log into any MS app, a screen pops up saying "Approve Sign in Request" and gives me a 2-digit nbr. My iphone does NOT receive a message nor is there a place to put the nbr. When I open the Auth app, it gives me the same request and gives me another 2-digit nbr. As a result, I cannot access any of my Office Apps (from phone or laptop or ipad) - email, contacts, notes, Teams, etc. This is a critical issue that must be resolved. Can we turn off MFA? I never requested it.

  • Hi there, I previously had an instagram account connected to my authenticator app on my phone. However this has since been deleted and I cannot access my instagram account anymore. The account was setup on the authenticator app on 30/03/2022. I have also chatted to an agent about this and the case number is 1051913074. Please may you be able to setup the 2FA again so I can re-access my account?

  • Hello,

    My authenticator app is not functioning properly on my new phone. It will send me the initial number shown but I can't type the second number that I'm given to sign in to the app. The app is up to date.

    Thank you,

  • Got a new phone because the old one turned off and wouldn't turn back on. I was able to login to the authenticator app but the portion with the codes for the login didn't transfer only the user names and passwords connected to the authenticator app. Now I can't login to multiple accounts because the authenticator app is the only option.

  • 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 info@redacted or benjamin.hakala1@redacted

  • 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.

Unfortunately my Microsoft Authenticator app still my old phone number 470 851 8346 as the main number and I forgot to change it. Well now I can't get into my primary email account which is ValkyrieLife22@redacted because it keeps trying to give me code for the old phone number and on my Microsoft Authenticator app. So I'm using my other email HarveyCraig28@redacted for now to be able to get help from you guys. Please any help would be much appreciated

  • 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.
