## Microsoft Authenticator Description
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.

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.

Microsoft Authenticator may request the following optional permissions, which require your consent. You can continue to use Microsoft Authenticator without granting these permissions. However, some features may be limited or unavailable. For more information, please see below:

- Face ID: To enable app lock and help protect your accounts
- Camera: To scan QR codes when adding accounts to Microsoft Authenticator.

## Microsoft Authenticator Reviews in New Zealand

### ***** "Free, Simple & easy"
Punches above its weight, cannot be any better
-- Vixx21, 2026-08-30

### *---- "bad"
no opt out option and doesnt work half the time set me free
-- s4diee, 2026-07-16

### *---- "Blocking access to sign in"
After buying a new phone and resetting the old once a full transfer was completed. I have attempted to log into a work account and found myself in a never ending loop where any sign in takes me to the authentication app, which tells me to go to the authentication app. Of which I am unable to due to already having it open in the sign in processes. Attempts to work around it by having a code sent to my linked phone number have been unsuccessful. A days worth of repeated attempts have resulted in zero codes actually being received and the app telling me I’m out of attempts and to try again later. I then attempted to work around using a method mentioned in the app where I log in on the website using the provided url. Which just resulted in being told to open the authentication app again, which has already established it self as highly unhelpful. Still waiting for one of the innumerable attempts to have a code sent to my phone to arrive.
-- Me95419, 2026-07-01

### ***-- "Buggy"
Same old bugs. Asks for a code from the ape while you are on the app. Other bugs like a new account or new phone is always present. Very little progress in these areas. Been around for sometime
-- Aaaaaaaaappppppeeeee, 2026-06-13

### *---- "Terrible support when locked out of account"
I lost my phone and when I received my replacement I was unable to sign into the app without already having access to the app. Microsoft has no way of reaching tech support. Seems like this has been an issue for a while, very disappointing and frustrating.
-- Frustrated User :( …., 2026-06-05
