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.
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.
I have a new phone and I installed the app again but I lost all the ID’s for instagram and snapchat now I cant login to instagram is there a way to recover that
Buenas,
Soy Marina Ibáñez Cañada (es el segundo mensaje que envio pq me faltaba info) teng varias cuentas que requieren de la app para acceder, personal : xwiiki29@redacted (q estoy registrada asi en Microsof), marina.ibanez@redacted (importantisima y solo puedo acceder desde la app).
Y todo es porque tengo un movil nuevo, sigue apareciendo solo el Xiaomi y no recibo las notificaciones con el nuevo (Apple) teniendo el mismo número (+34 665280004) no pued acceder a ese movil. Por lo que no tengo correo electrónico de la universidad y es muy urgente que obtenga acceso rapido a el.
He leido que no es la primera vez que ocurre...
No recibo notificaciones para verificar las cuentas en Microsoft authentificator.
I dont received notifications in my app for verify my accoubts and log in.
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?
Hello,
My Microsoft account is stating that i have microsoft authenticator installed and activated but i in fact do not have it, I am i microsoft 365 subscription user and would appreciate any help and support as i am currently unable to secure my microsoft account with 2fa or passwordless logon. When i go to login to my account the logon process asks me for a logon code but i do not have microsoft Authenticator installated and working yet as i'm trying to remove it from my old phone and move it to my new phone, could i please have some support removing all active Microsoft authenticator application instances so that i can easily install it on my new phone without my microsoft account asking me for a code to which i do not have access to, ( I Do not have any Microsoft Autenticator applications currently installed and working).
Thank you
Best Regards,

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.
Ik kan niet meer inloggen

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

Hi I have an office 365 account which I use for my family. I am the admin (when I login i use the work account option). Lat night when my email asked for confirmation from my authenticator app I accidently pressed no. Now as soon as the account asks for authentication it immediately proceeds to request denied, If I try to "Get a code a different way" there is no option to verify although the tel number looks correct. error code 500121
I have an NPO account at randenborgh@redacted and am the only admin. My phone is gone and the only option for 2FA is the Authenticator ab. I am completely locked out unfortunately. I contacted support with my private account and they said to get back to you.
My Actual name is Alsadike Derhim, nickname is Sedik Mohammed. My Snapchat code disappeared from the Authenticator app because I restored my iPhone and everything was deleted. I lost access to my Snapchat account just because it requires an approval from the Microsoft Authenticator app. Please, help!
Hi,
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.
Please help,
Chris
I lost my phone and I can't get my authenticator code to long in on my new phone
It's not a complaint, the mistake was mine but the chat person gave me this link?
I lost my phone at the weekend whilst canoeing. I've got a new phone and downloaded the authenticator app and for most apps all seems well. But I can't get into Facebook even though I can get into WhatsApp. I can't seem to add Facebook to my authenticator app as it needs a QR code?
Hoping you can help,
Best wishes,
Hannah

Authenticator on Apple Watch S8 not working with iPhone 14 Pro

My phone died with the authenticator installed on it. Now I am unable to access my email because it was two factor enabled. I am unable to recover my account now because it wants the code from the authenticator on a dead phone
I was trying to add authenticator on my phone too and the codes wouldn't appear so I thought maybe deleting authenticator on my ipad would fix it but nope. Anyways I messed with the settings and I'm pretty sure it got overwritten
When trying to restore authenticator from back up and signing into my account I am using an alternative email/number to receive my code but the code is not being sent to me
Can't log into authenticator app as it asks me to use the authenticator app to verify which I can't log in to

I set up my Microsoft authenticator app for my account but forgot to turn on backup and the uninstalled it from my phone but after few I installed it again but I am not able to login as Its asking for security code which I am not getting and I did not add any other recovery option to my account please help me I am not able to sign in to my account

I have just got a new phone and no longer have access to the old phone. I unfortunately didn't realise I'd need to back up my Microsoft authenticator app, so when I've gone to access my university and work accounts Microsoft authenticator won't send me any codes or let me open them. I've looked through your website and support pages, but can't figure out how to set up Microsoft authenticator on my new phone when I can't deactivate it on my old phone
My account stolen
Can you check on your system what is the reason why I am not receiving the notification to approve my sign in, on my new phone.
Please delete my Authentication app. I am a 80 year old senior citizen and really don’t understand all the directions and get very frustrated.
I do know that there is a monetary fine of $7500.00 for noncompliance on your part.
Hi, been told to contact you re: case number 1043104811. (I had a new phone and lost the authenticator details for andyaneal@redacted, and cannot access the account anymore.)
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.

i have been trying to log into my school account for a few days and since i don’t have access to MFA i can’t use it
I haven’t been able to access my Instagram or my school website because my Authenticator app has to give me the ok. I just got a new phone so I’m not surprised this happened but I need this. What do I do???
cannot login into work account due to mobile issues
I'm locked out of my account and my business is on the line.
Microsoft Authenticator is saying I need to set up a two step verification with a QR code but I don’t have access to a QR code for my account. How do I verify my account?

Please could I have advice with micrsoft authenticator - it is going round in loops that I cannot get out of and I urgently need access to my emails
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 kvrant@redacted 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 cant log in to my work email . My app auth says to get the verification code from the auth app even though I am already on the app
My authenticator got logged out of my 365 account dave.pennington@redacted 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 admin@redacted. I hope you can fix this issue.
Microsoft is causing me hell, why do u make it so hard to get help. I must have had an account 100yrs ago therefore a different phone number. That’s my problem. I need it updated to the correct no which os 0416099248
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 ramirodamil@redacted 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
Hi guys,
My old phone is damaged and I bought a new phone. How do I shift all my authenticated accounts to the new device?
I need to transfer my authenticator account from my old phone to a new. i dont have access to the old phone
delete this now
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.
Hi, i have a new iphone and my account has locked me out when I try to set up my existing email (simon@retail-savvy) on my new phone (authenticator). Can you please check my account, reset it if necessary and update it to recognise my new iPhone (13 pro max). Many thanks

Microsoft Authenticator is requesting a code. The code is alpha numeric, but the keypad from authenticator is only numeric. So I cannot unlock the app.
Unable to access accounts as the Authenticator app was on an old phone which is no longer functioning. Authenticator app requires permission from the Authenticator app on the old device in order to access it.
I can’t login on Microsoft teams. I don’t receive notification on Microsoft Authenticator Please cancel me on Microsoft Authenticator with organizations The Siam Commercial Bank PCL. Via Ms teams.
