Comments on Microsoft Authenticator for Android

★★★★☆ Ayukogem Ashu Mbeng · Jun 1, 2026

Seamless login for my apps across all devices. No need to remember passwords when u have this app

★★★★★ Dave Ross · May 27, 2026

Thank goodness for this app! Instant security. Very reliable and very essential. Easy to use. Excellent security across multiple devices.

★★★★☆ Adam Ellis · May 29, 2026

Works good, I was hoping I'd be able to transfer my authenticator accounts with the backup, but I guess not.

★★★★★ Bob McCann · May 12, 2026

Update: Great example of this kind of app. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is one critical component of robust cybersecurity. The Microsoft Authenticator app is an excellent 2FA authentication tool and is well-integrated across the Microsoft/Office 365 ecosystem.

★☆☆☆☆ Sevak Stepanyan · May 15, 2026

Stupid app broke ALL Microsoft Office apps for me, and made me unable to access my emails or schoolwork on any of my devices for 2 weeks. 2FA is stupid I hate it idgaf if other people can get access to my damn math assignments, I can't get access to ts myself dawg

★☆☆☆☆ Sean Wane Rojas · May 27, 2026

Crazy app. In order to use your account on MS Teams, you need to log in to their authenticator app. While logging in to the authenticator app, you need to somehow approve the sign in request inside the authenticator app you want to log in with!! Never knew changing my password could be this stressful.

★☆☆☆☆ Anatoly Kozachenko · May 27, 2026

Your screen lock has changed - get code - enter code - your screen lock has changed - get code. Retard developers team created this

★☆☆☆☆ Abby Estes · Jun 1, 2026

This app doesn't work very well. Only way to sign in to your school email is to use the authenticator app is by getting the code from the authenticator app which won't work. And then if I try to sign into my account from my computer I run into the same issue.
