Microsoft Authenticator

So far, adding accounts and using various types of MFAs is very easy. The biometric face recognition makes this fast to use. I appreciate the location information for where requests are coming from (though with rerouting and VPNs it isn’t always the most useful)

I’ve moved over to a new phone and now I cannot login to ANYTHING needing Authenticator because any time it says to go and approve on my Authenticator app: nothing comes up in the app!! The accounts are there but no sign in notifications work! I’ve tried to get help and none is available unless I login - which I can’t do since I can’t use the Authenticator app!!

Using this app gives me a headache. There’s always some glitch with the code not appearing or SOMETHING not working. Use something else

Doesn’t always work if you have multiple authentication requests at the same time for different microsoft apps

I hate this app. I hate it wholeheartedly. I am currently stuck in an endless loop of trying to sign into things and being told to “enter the two digit code in my Authenticator app” except I open my Authenticator app and there is no where to input it. I try to solve this issue? “Enter the following code”. I click “can’t use Authenticator app”? “Enter the code.” Are you kidding. I’m in hell. This app is genuine torture and I am so miserable. There is no other way for me to get into anything and I hate it, I’m so goddamn mad.

got a new phone and was logged out of my authenticator app, can’t get into my account on authenticator without a code from the authenticator app, that i have been logged out on!? what is this logic?

Every few weeks I have to sign back in to one drive. It says to open auth, but does not provide the 2 digit number. Auth asks for the 2 digit number. Then I ask for another, but it’s out of sync always a step behind and just says “wrong number” over and over. Now I can’t work.

I’ll start with the obligatory “I’d give it zero stars if I could”. This app is a nightmare if you have to set it up more than once or change devices such as a new phone or recovering a phone from backup. I have lost so many hours of my life stuck in endless loops resetting passwords, resetting recovery codes only to be prompted to do it all again or getting error messages. It’s always funny when it asks you to authorise your login in authenticator, while in authenticator! The iCloud sync needs a personal outlook account to activate but doesn’t work anyway. The only reason I still use this abomination of an app is because work it force it upon us. I suspect because it keeps them in consistent employment.

I am always wearing my watch. Let me accept an authentication without having to go and find my phone all the time!

I have a new phone, with the latest version of the Microsoft Authenticator app however I can’t authenticate my email address. I’m stuck in a constant loop of needing to enter the authentication code while being in the Authenticator app. Please review ASAP, it is preventing me from having any work flow!
