## 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.

> 
> **Pros**: Simple, fast, perfectly integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem, and reliable.
> 
> **Cons**: It's not a straightforward first configuration.
