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.
