Description

Introducing the updated Microsoft Authenticator! One app to quickly and securely verify your identity online, for all of your accounts. This app provides an extra layer of protection when you sign in, often referred to as two-step verification or multi-factor authentication. If you’ve enabled this for your Microsoft accounts, you’ll get a notification from this app after trying to sign in. Just tap approve and you’re good to go. For any other account, or if you’re offline, our built-in security code generator has got you covered. New features and updated app design are only available if you have completed the Windows 10 Anniversary update. Without the update, you will receive an older version of the app which only supports two-step verification for work and school accounts. This new app replaces the Azure Authenticator, Microsoft account, and Multi-Factor Authentication apps.

Works but could use minor UX improvements

The app works well and is nicer than the old Authenticator app. That said a few UX improvements such as being able to arrange the order of account or being able to edit names would be a welcome addition.

Massive improvement over there old version

Not sure how people are having problems with this app. I love that I didn't have to jump through hoops adding this to my MS Account. Just sign in and you are good to go in using this for your MS account verifications. I added another link so I could use this for a game I play and it worked great. Much nicer and easier to use than the previous incarnation.

That code didn't work

It never does recognize a code. Just another app that microsoft updates ruined :-/ it used to work but now doesn't. Updates only break products. They never make them better. Microsoft, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Too late 4 this poor app. U already fixed it when u weren't supposed to!!!!

Codes are 30 seconds slow

It used to be this app could be used interchangeably with Google Authenticator, but now this app generates codes that are 30 seconds old. Run Google Authenticator side by side with this app, and you'll see the code jump from Google Authenticator to Microsoft Authenticator every 30 seconds. Maybe this app generates good codes for a Microsoft-only solution, but otherwise the codes don't work.

Does what it says

Wish the user interface was more attractive and allowed accounts to be reordered.

Much better than previous versions

Very easy to use. And for anyone concerned about security, go into your phone settings, find the authenticator app under notifications, then set it to "keep private on lock screen". This way you have to have your phone unlocked in order to authorize any account access. Otherwise, the pop up notifications can be authorized right from your lock screen without needing your pin.

This app works great. However, one piece of feedback I have is that some extra spacing should be at the bottom of the list as you scroll down. Currently when I try to look at the code for the bottom entry, it's hidden by the plus sign at the bottom of the screen. It makes the code hard to see.
