About Microsoft Authenticator

Microsoft Authenticator, part of Microsoft Entra, is a cloud-based authentication solution, which helps businesses in technology, retail, legal services, education, manufacturing, and other sectors manage online accounts using various security tools including multi-factor authentication, passcodes, log-in approvals, and push notifications. It offers mobile applications for Android and iOS devices that lets users sign in without passwords, connect with other Microsoft applications, and autofill login credentials.

The platform allows organizations to handle resource access through certificate-based authentication, sign-in requests, and multiple account support. Microsoft Authenticator offers an autofill feature, which enables users to synchronize passwords from different platforms, automatically fill passcodes for websites, and import log-in credentials from Google Chrome. It also ensures data protection and security via cloud backup, account recovery, and two-step verification.

Great for security, terrible for UI

Reviewed on 31/05/2024

Pros

I think from a security standpoint it's brilliant, because the amount of times I've been stuck in a loop of not being able to log into my authenticator, because I need my authenticator to generate a code for me to access my authenticator, is countless.

Cons

The fact you get stuck in a catch 22 loop of needing the app to generate a code for you to get into the app. End up having to talk to IT all the time and get them to reset it. It's ridiculous.
