About
Microsoft Authenticator provides multi-factor authentication, passwordless sign-in, and password autofill for your online accounts. Enable MFA to add a second security layer during login by approving a notification or entering a one-time password (OTP) with a 30-second timer—no network connection required. Use passwordless login with your phone and biometric verification (fingerprint, face ID, or PIN) to access Microsoft products like Outlook, OneDrive, and Office. The app supports multiple accounts including Facebook, Amazon, Dropbox, Google, LinkedIn, and GitHub. Password autofill syncs passwords from Microsoft Edge and can import credentials from Google Chrome and other password managers, all protected by MFA. For work or school accounts, the app supports certificate-based authentication to verify trusted devices.
