Use Microsoft Authenticator for easy, secure sign-ins for all your online accounts using multi-factor authentication, passwordless, or password autofill. You also have additional account management options for your Microsoft personal, work or school accounts.
Getting started with multi-factor authentication
Multi factor authentication (MFA)provides a second layer of security. When enabled, during login after entering your password, you’ll be asked for an additional way to prove it’s really you. Either approve the notification sent to the Microsoft Authenticator, or enter the one-time password (OTP) generated by the app. The OTP codes have a 30 second timer counting down. This timer is so you never have to use the same time-based one-time password (TOTP) twice and you don’t have to remember the number. The OTP doesn’t require you to be connected to a network, and it won’t drain your battery. You can add multiple accounts to your app, including non-Microsoft accounts like Facebook, Amazon, Dropbox, Google, LinkedIn, GitHub, and more.
Getting started with passwordless
Use your phone, not your password, to log into your Microsoft account. Just enter your username, then approve the notification sent to your phone. Your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN will provide a second layer of security in this two-step verification process. 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.
Getting started with autofill
Microsoft Authenticator app can also autofill passwords for you. 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. Make Microsoft Authenticator the default autofill provider and start autofilling passwords on apps and sites you visit on your mobile. Your passwords are protected with multi-factor authentication in the app. You will need to prove yourself with your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN to access and autofill passwords on your mobile. You can also import passwords from Google Chrome and other password managers.
Microsoft personal, work or school accounts
Sometimes your work or school might ask you to install the Microsoft Authenticator when accessing certain organization resources. You will need to register your device to your organization through the app and add your work or school account. Microsoft Authenticator supports cert-based authentication by issuing a certificate on your device. 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.

No popup to insert secret
Since the past two three days this app has been troubling me , from the Authenticator app when I try to add my account I get the secret value but no pop up window to insert the secret . Due to this I have unable to login to my outlook and teams on none of my devices and stuck. Not sure if this is an issue with latest update or not but there is no relief right now.
Microsoft New Achievements
Microsoft services are really worst. Now a days they are achieving new levels.
You have to login on office desktop every day/every time you boot, even if you are connected to company vpn/network, or say same network which they connect through everyday.
This very annoying, I use Microsoft services to ease my work.. no I just use them to login daily assuring I’m the only one using my own office desktop. What a achievement.

Horrible Issue
Th App is such a waste that while installing it asks for code from Authenticator app again. Now how will I have 2 Authenticator app in one phone
Authentication in notification IOS
Allow to approve the Authentication in notification only in IOS. Very difficult to open app again and again. If I am able to put the key in notification and approve via notification it would be very great
