Microsoft Authenticator
An excellent software security assistant
Microsoft Authenticator is a mobile account security management software launched by Microsoft, which simplifies your login program. After typing user name and then having your face information or fingerprint information verified, you can log in to software managed by Microsoft Authenticator. It can directly pick up your Microsoft account information while logging in, ensuring your information security and simplifying login procedures. By which, your logging in is more efficient.
Centralize your program security
Microsoft authenticator manages all your software accounts by dual security protection. When opening apps to display the account list. you can see each account is a separate interface. From which, you can open the software you have set up security protection. It also adds an application encryption which can be unlocked with fingerprints, greatly enhancing the security.
No more worry about mistaking the secondary protection password
Before the advent of Microsoft authenticator, most of the secondary protection we used was password protection. But it follows the problem of password leakage and its misremembering. The most irritating thing is to mistake the secondary protection passwords of multiple software. Microsoft authenticator uses a more advanced secondary protection login program to perfectly avoid the above-mentioned problem.
Unique authentication login to protect your privacy
Microsoft Authenticator can ensure the security of individual accounts. Besides, when you want to obtain the information in the Microsoft account applied by the group organization, you need to apply to your organization through Microsoft authenticator. That means the Authenticator ensures the security of both accounts. Meanwhile，Microsoft Authenticator collects your fingerprint information and matches it with your face. These unique data become a major basis to ensure the security of login and verification.
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) or two factor authentication (2FA) provides a second layer of security. When logging in with multi-factor authentication, you’ll enter your password, and then 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 one-time passwords (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 one-time password (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 files, emails, or apps. You will need to register your device to your organization through the app and add your work or school account. Microsoft Authenticator also 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. Because Microsoft Authenticator supports single sign-on, once you have proven your identity once, you will not need to log in again to other Microsoft apps on your device.
