## Reviews

### "Microsoft Authenticator Review" — 3.0/5

> **Scott** | *19 June 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.

### "Simple and easy two factor authentication" — 5.0/5

> **Andonis** | *31 May 2025* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One stop application for saving all my important credentials and two factor authentication for multiple services
> 
> **Cons**: Disappointed that they are removing password saving for Android devices, this feature was very handy and saved me a lot of time

-----

### "Works if you know what to do." — 4.0/5

> **Joe** | *10 December 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** | *19 March 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.

### "Keeps my Info Safe\!" — 5.0/5

> **Meegan** | *4 October 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Microsoft Authenticator is a great program to will keep all of your accounts safe and secure.  With all your information online, attackers will eventually try to steal your information and data.  With Microsoft Authenticator, you won't have to worry about that.  It's very easy to set up and gives you many different options to verify your identity.  I always make sure to set up Microsoft Authenticator with every program or website that offers it.  I like that you can verify your identity by a text message, a phone call, through email, and other devices.  This is a must-have if you value your data and privacy.
> 
> **Cons**: I have been using Microsoft Authenticator for a few years now.  Once in a while, I will ask to verify my identity by receiving a text message.  When I do this, it occasionally gives me an error and won't allow me to do it.  When this happens, the other options do work though.
> 
> My overall experience with Microsoft Authenticator has been positive.  It gives me the piece of mind that all of my accounts and data will be safe.  I no longer have to change my passwords every few weeks to make sure my accounts are secure.  Microsoft Authenticator does a great job of making sure my data will never be accessed by unwatched people.
