Microsoft Authenticator for Android

Microsoft Authenticator is an account security application that helps users verify their identity online quickly and securely, using any account on Android devices.

2-layer account security helps keep your account safer

Microsoft Authenticator provides an extra layer of security when users sign in to any of their accounts on Android devices. This method is often called 2-step authentication or multi-factor authentication.

Usually, when you want to log into an account, you only need to enter an account name and password. However, after installing and activating Microsoft Authenticator, this application will create a second layer of security to prove that it is really you are logged in. In case the first password is revealed, the crook will have to find a way to bypass the second layer and then you will receive a notification that someone is trying to login.

In case you yourself are logged in, just click approve and you can continue. The Microsoft Authenticator account security application works with all your accounts on Android devices. If the user is offline, the built-in security code generator will protect you.

Microsoft Authenticator now replaces the Azure Authenticator application, Microsoft account and Multi-Factor Authentication.

Two-step verification

Two-step verification helps protect users' accounts by providing an additional layer of security for the account. When logging in, after entering your regular username and password, users will be asked to take an additional step to prove that it's really you.

This additional step may be approving the notification sent to Microsoft Authenticator or entering the verification code generated by the application. With this feature, even if someone has your password, they will be prevented because they do not have access to your phone or personal email.
