I switched phones and I had to call support to help reset it onto my new phone. ----- ### "No need for passwords to avoid data breach" — 5.0/5 > **Chitranzan** | *April 9, 2025* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is one of the safest way to authenticate myself that I am the authorized user to gain access to app/tool/software/database. Passwords can be hacked, imprints could be stored but gaining access for an unauthorized person via Microsoft Authenticator is not possible. > > **Cons**: It works with internet connection so if I don’t have internet connection for whatever reasons, I can’t open Microsoft Authenticator and thus can’t gain access to other applications secured by it. > > Overall, I love Microsoft Authenticator as it provides a great sense of reliability as well as privacy and safeguards my date from potential theft. It is way better than saving multiple different passwords on the phone. ----- ### "Works if you know what to do." — 4.0/5 > **Joe** | *December 10, 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: From a business standpoint, this is the best tool to use with integrations for any Microsoft or business product tied with Azure. > > **Cons**: End-users that upgrade/replace their phones that originally had Microsoft Authenticator would be confused why Authenticator is not working. > > It works, only for users that know how to use it. But it does work to get you access to anything Microsoft or SSO related. ----- ### "Be authentic. Use Authenticator\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *March 19, 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple, fast, perfectly integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem, and reliable. > > **Cons**: It's not a straightforward first configuration. > > My overall experience is excellent. I use it daily as my company uses Microsoft 365, and Authenticator as the login admin and password recovery app. ----- ### "Microsoft Authenticator Review" — 3.0/5 > **Scott** | *June 19, 2025* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy it is to use the multi-factor authentication to login to Outlook once it has been set up. > > **Cons**: Setting up a new phone with the authenticator to login to Outlook and Microsoft 365, can be challenging and it was not intuitive. I have needed to find videos on how to do this. > > The overall experience has been okay, it functions well once it has been setup however, the setup has been challenging. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/219694/microsoft-authenticator?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/219694/microsoft-authenticator) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ko | | ----- ## Structured Data
