Microsoft Authenticator

Editor's Review

🔒 Microsoft Authenticator is your all-in-one solution for easy and secure sign-ins to all your online accounts! Whether you're using multi-factor authentication, passwordless login, or password autofill, this app has you covered. Plus, it offers additional account management options for your Microsoft personal, work, or school accounts. 📱

🔑Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security to your accounts. After entering your password, you'll be prompted to approve a notification sent to the Microsoft Authenticator app or enter a one-time password (OTP) generated by the app. These OTP codes refresh every 30 seconds, ensuring you never have to reuse the same code! ⏱️

🔑Passwordless Login lets you log in to your Microsoft account using your phone instead of a password! Just enter your username and approve the notification sent to your phone. Use your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN for an extra layer of security. Enjoy seamless access to all your Microsoft services like Outlook, OneDrive, and Office! 🤳

🔑Autofill is also available! The Microsoft Authenticator app can autofill passwords for you. Sign in on the Passwords tab with your personal Microsoft account to start syncing passwords, including those saved in Microsoft Edge. Make Microsoft Authenticator your default autofill provider and enjoy effortless logins on apps and sites. Your passwords are protected with multi-factor authentication, requiring your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN for access. You can even import passwords from Google Chrome and other password managers! 💾

💼 For Microsoft Work or School Accounts, your organization might require you to install Microsoft Authenticator to access certain files, emails, or apps. Register your device through the app and add your work or school account. Microsoft Authenticator also supports certificate-based authentication, verifying that the sign-in request comes from a trusted device. Enjoy seamless and secure access to Microsoft apps with single sign-on! 🏢

⚠️ Microsoft Authenticator includes optional access permissions such as Accessibility Service, Location, Camera, and Storage. These permissions require user consent and are only used if you grant them. You can still use the app for other services without granting these permissions. Check out the FAQ for more info! ℹ️
