Codes presented on one screen, search bar, slide to delete, password less support including number matching. It works well. It’s free. It’s well maintained by the world leading Microsoft. It’s bug free in my experience and biometric login makes it easy to use. Just look at it and your authenticating\! > > **Cons**: When you add a new code it says “scan work or school QR code” when that tool is used for code scanning not for work too. That’s it. > > I use MS Authenticator every day, multiple times, for multiple passwordless logins, and it’s almost so good I don’t notice that one used it. ----- ### "Best App for One Time Passwords" — 5.0/5 > **Abhishek** | *29 August 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Best MFA solution , easy to store variety of timed One time codes for various sign in into different apps. Easy to add an OTP for a login. Can use the long security key or QR code to add the authentication OTP into the app. > > **Cons**: Uninstalling the product can lead to losing all the saved one time codes. > > Best authenticator app , and trusted for day to day use, have both android and IOS apps. Easy to setup , can add OTP of non Microsoft apps. ----- ### "Microsoft Authenticator - Review" — 5.0/5 > **Lipa** | *6 July 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am able to log in to my systems confidently and not worry about anyone else accessing my data > > **Cons**: Nothing at the moment since I haven't had any issues in logging into any of my applications ----- ### "Great for security, terrible for UI" — 1.0/5 > **Elli** | *31 May 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think from a security standpoint it's brilliant, because the amount of times I've been stuck in a loop of not being able to log into my authenticator, because I need my authenticator to generate a code for me to access my authenticator, is countless. > > **Cons**: The fact you get stuck in a catch 22 loop of needing the app to generate a code for you to get into the app. End up having to talk to IT all the time and get them to reset it. It's ridiculous. ----- ### "Impeccable authentication solution" — 5.0/5 > **Piotr** | *11 March 2024* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Microsoft Authenticator for over a year and I can't complain about anything. It's easy to use, you have plenty of options to choose from how you want to authenticate, depending on your circumstances, so there is always an option available for you. > > **Cons**: I can't really think of anything, it works well in the capacity it should. > > Great experience overall, protects your account, flexible and easy to use. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/219694/microsoft-authenticator?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/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
