WIDGET! 5/5
By Maaz Hussaini
It would be great if you introduced a Widget to makes even access to the app a bit faster.
Managed to be annoying in a minute after installation 1/5
By achalk84
Every other authentication app works without needing to send me notification, this one can’t because it has to whine about all of your signs and needs get your immediate attention to all of its whining.
Crap 1/5
By getting_old_sucks
The idea is great and what everyone needs to do these days however maybe I’m just getting to be an old man but for the life of me I can’t figure this thing out. I’m essentially locked myself of all my emails. I have other Authenticators that I use for other things that where easy but this...:. It’s something else. If it was easy to set up then truly amazing. Maybe it’s just a user issue. I say pass in this crap. Hope I can get back to my emails one day.
This app is great! 5/5
By Whitford492
It’s easy to use, and a great way to add extra security to accounts that support two-factor authentication and verification.
Set up 1/5
By Kutzzup
Complicated set up
No instructions 1/5
By Pugs mama
My program is asking me to enter a number into the Authenticator. The Authenticator says enter a number into the Authenticator. What? Neither the Authenticator nor the program has a place to enter a number.
Pointless? 1/5
By Zarb Ebner
Why download a 2nd app just to sign in?? Being forced to get this or provide a phone number (no thanks) just to sign in. For no reason.
Pain 1/5
By Fem Foot Lover
To difficult to set up & directions aren’t really clear on what to do
Total failure 1/5
By rumpleSS
After adding this app to my iPhone, it wouldn’t let me establish a personal account. Not with my email And not with this phone number. What is wrong with Microsoft? Does anyone there know how to program? It’s just one buggy mess after another. So I deleted this mess of an app. Good riddance.
Nightmare 1/5
By TNT is crap
I wish I could have the 30 minutes of my life back that I wasted on this. Quickly deleted this useless app

Can't restore data. 1/5
By tomlajtos
iCloud backup does not work. After reseting my phone it was unable to restore any of my accounts.
As a test a repeated the setup and reset, med sure the backup function was set up. Same thing happened. Unable to restore.
The app doesn’t shows the login location 3/5
By Mashimaro911
The app always ask me to sign in my accounts but it doesn’t shows which device is asking for that. It makes me confuse. I mean if there are some bad guy wanna login my accounts and the app just pop up a request wanna me sign in?
Bad 1/5

I lost all of the backups. 3/5
By bkaselow
I reset my iPhone, and I wasn't able to restore all of my backups from the iCloud. So what is the point of these apps.

Cannot approve sign-in, useless
For coders 3/5
By Gtyyyy2749
Well, I tried giving up feedback, but that link is broken.
I like this app, but I have used it for several accounts, and two of those are for the same website, so for different accounts. This app shows the same name for both, and I have no way of putting a nickname on them to tell them apart.
Please add some sort of nickname feature, so I can distinguish several accounts.
User friendly 🙀 1/5
By NeedsOversite
Usually programs are to open when one clicks “open”.
Oh, but if it was that simple.
I can’t imagine I’ll be using this crap anytime soon‼️
This app is basic.. 2/5
By RyTunes05
This app is very disappointing. I understand that it’s a free app, but I trust the Microsoft name. That being said, I wish you could edit the logo or picture indicating the account associated with the 2FA code, or at least let us change the color to organize them more easily. I spent the entire day setting up 2FA on every account I could, because one of my accounts had been hacked. The best-looking overall 2FA app is the Salesforce one, with beautiful, high-quality logos, and some pretty awesome additional features, but you have to be a Salesforce client to use it. All I’m asking for are logos for the well-known websites, and better organization and search options.
Help if needed hopefully 5/5
By jmc now
Hopefully this is secured for the process of flawed processes on laptop/ mobile device and I’m sure I’ll let you know if it still is compromised

LOST MY BACKUP 1/5
By dbozard
This app lost my backup!!!! It showed that it was being backed up to my iCloud. I made sure of this. When I switched to a different phone (after resetting my old phone), I went through the whole restore process within the app but it now states there are NO backups in my iCloud. NOW, I’M UNABLE TO GET INTO ONE OF MY TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION APPS. I’m completely locked out. This is ridiculous and it appears from the reviews, that I’m not the only one with this problem.
Fine when it works 1/5
By JMSNC59
Been trying for an hour to reset an email password. Keeps telling me to get code from Authenticator then says it’s wrong (there’s no way to put a space-even copying it from the Authenticator leaves out the space, which makes the code incorrect).
App 1/5
By johnson56301
More time
Very Inconsistent 1/5
By nee slang
And only shows up if I actually go into the app. I don’t get the positive reviews, this works 50% of the time on a good day.
Switching Phones 1/5
By Trash App #1
This is the worst app to work with if you switch phones. There are several inquires into how to over ride it and it seems Microsoft doesn’t even know themselves.
Stoopid 1/5
By Vack Off
I’m trying to enter a code for something and I go into the app and there is no place to put in a code! Waste of space
Great! 5/5
By Vyobi
It’s for free and works perfectly! What more could you ask?
Amazing 5/5
By subtoCjayDaGr8_YT
The best Authenticator out there way better than google and many many others I highly recommend it
Great MFA Tool 5/5
By micchickenburger
Authenticator is the best MFA app I’ve used to date. It’s easy to use, supports device registration for enterprise accounts, and can backup tokens! The last item is very important for someone like me who has nearly thirty tokens. Microsoft token requests go straight to my Apple Watch, which is super handy as well. Don’t even have to pick up my phone.
Feature requests:
• Please add a quick search since having 30+ tokens can be a bit unwieldy
• Please allow customization of token images to make it easier to find the service I’m looking for
Peace of Mind 5/5

Had an email security breach that allowed someone to get access to my amazon account and credit card information. I caught it early enough to stop any issues, but this could’ve prevented it in the first place.

Terrible app 1/5
By DB223abqdftre
This is the worst app. I pretty much have to have the app up on my screen when attempting to access our secure systems. If you miss the approval popup, you’re hosed. The Lastpass authenticator app is 100x better.
Authenticator 5/5

The app is really nice!
There is no barcode scanner 🤔 3/5
By Vikya2001
Why there is no barcode scanner in app?
This is forcing me to move to other Authenticator apps!!!
This app is a life saver!! 5/5
By the loser of accounts
Being a young gamer makes it easy for me to forget my password or lose the paper I wrote it down on, it also made sure my accounts were safe and secure thank you!
Excellent Authenticator 5/5
By Tinker683
I try and use this as my primary Authenticator app. It works beautifully and have had no issues with it. It also backs up to iCloud so it’s easy to restore too.
This app is great 5/5
By MyExDumpedMeForATrashCan
So a few months ago I got my Xbox account hacked and I was really sad about it because I had lost a lot. Including my games ect. But then I found out the hacker stole my email and put it in this app because at the time I didn’t have this app. So that was a good lesson for me to use this app always and it’s absolutely fantastic because I have a lot of emails like work, school, and gaming of course but I feel like all my emails are super secure also I like the fact that when trying to log into another site with your email you have to get permission from the Authenticator app before you can do anything so if someone gets ahold of your email then they can’t log in at all.
All my authorization keys in one place 5/5
By Groovy2121
Great app for this reason. It would be nice to have a dark mode/ theme for this app.
Terrible way to sign in w/ your School Account 3/5
By VictoriaSilvis
Hello whoever is reading this I downloaded this for the first time, I signed in with my personal account before my school account. The only thing that was time consuming it has to send code to my email. Although, I was able to get my code and finally added my personal account.
Now here’s the problem. The QR barcode or having to manually type the code is terrible! Why? This is frustrating to me because I have to back to the campus on Tuesday since there’s no school on Monday. The main point is I hate the idea of the QR scan and manually typing the code.
Can you just do the same for the personal account? Just terrible I’m sorry Microsoft, but I hate the idea of a QR scan either having to manually type the code. Please change this or students will be frustrated.
Overall, this is my first time using Outlook because previously I had difficult time signing with my password. And I was able to find my password and it worked so, I had to make a new password.
I discovered this app through Microsoft, and I want to go password-less. Because of the concerns regarding privacy and security. So I like how Microsoft finally have this because Windows 10 has something similar where you can just make a pin, and sign in without any problems. However, make sure to write it down or use a password manager. Still I suggest to write it down on paper than password manager just because I’m worried how developers are trying to keep hackers, or terrible people who wants access to people’s accounts to steal their confidential information.
Last of all, I’m using this on my iPhone 8 so I’m hoping this will be great use for whenever I need to quickly check my emails from my school. And I still don’t like the idea Microsoft had in mind which makes students frustrated. So please fix it.
Works well on Phone, Not watch 3/5
By Jase1125
I constantly receiver errors stating the watch couldn’t communicate with Authenticator on my iPhone. It is frustrating that it works half the time.
Die 1/5
By FutureAssasin
Go die this is so stupid.
Are you kidding me 1/5
By MSchally
I got the app so I could sign in somewhere else...then the app tells me I have to use the authentication app to sign in...when that’s what I’m trying to register for. Microsoft is stupid and so is this app. This is why google is so much better, easier, and reliable
Easy and Fast 2FA 5/5
By wwdmm
This app works perfectly on all of my 2FA secures accounts. Transitioning between devices was relatively painless as well.
App rejected my account 1/5
By Shearin69
With the two point verification, during a reset of my password, the app was unable to recognize my account, with no other way to verify the system submitted me for a 30 day wait to reset - I can only assume by mail. Conversation with online customer support yielded no help and I got from them regarding my paid subscription with Xbox yielded in non- support phones and scanner ads.
Sometimes is not working, please advise. 4/5
By 蔡光明888
Sometimes is not displaying the approval window after the login request sent to the phone. Also, the password option should be off once user selected the option to use please advise, or password should be combined with the Authentication app. Thanks
I can no longer check my email away from my desktop at work 1/5
By Hunnyalrohaif
This app and this Microsoft security option is horrible. I actually hate our IT department for dealing with Microsoft and for upgrading to this security system. I work in the field so now I can't see my email except once a week maybe and I nothing shows up on my calendar. So imagine all the work I'm not doing because of this app and the so-not-user-friendly Microsoft solution.
