Microsoft Authenticator is the official two-step verification (2FA) app from Microsoft for thousands of websites and services. Thanks to 2FA (also known as TFA) you can log in to any web page, app or service without having to remember your password, which allows you to have stronger and more secure passwords. You just need to have your Android device nearby and you will be able to sign in securely.
Sign in with your Microsoft account
You will need to log in with your Microsoft account to use Microsoft Authenticator correctly. This is very important. You will need to have a Hotmail, Skype or MSN email account if you want to use the app. Once you have logged in, you can also add additional accounts. You can even manage both a personal account and a work account from the same app, switching between the two with a single tap.
No more reusing the same passwords
One of the most common mistakes when it comes to password management is to reuse passwords. Why? Because, from time to time, it is not uncommon for some services or websites to suffer a data breach. And if you use the same password for all your different accounts you will compromise multiple services and accounts. Thanks to two-step verification you can avoid this problem. The codes the app generates are valid even if you have no Internet connection, since both the app and the website you want to access use the same algorithm to generate codes randomly at any given time.
Very easy to use
Microsoft Authenticator is similar to other similar apps, such as Google Authenticator. When you activate two-step verification for a service, the first thing you will have to do is scan the QR code that it generates. After that, the app will be linked with the service. From that moment on, when you go to log in to that web page or app, you will have to navigate to the app and copy the code that appears there. Each code is only available for 30 seconds, after which a new code will be generated. This ensures that only you can access your most cherished web pages, apps and services.
Enhance your security when browsing
Download the Microsoft Authenticator APK if you want peace of mind and don't want to worry about your online passwords being leaked or forgetting your password. Thanks to this app you can easily access any page or service, as long as you have your Android device at hand.
Requirements (Latest version)

Very convenient if you forget your password
Makes switching and signing into Microsoft accounts quite simple. If you have more than one MSN account, I'd suggest this app.
As a two-step verification component, it is more effective than Google Keypoint. However, in the event of a recovery, losing the code or key for renewing the account can cause issues, and if there isn...See more
