Lots of authenticator apps are available in the play store. But Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator provides you more security to your Smartphone & laptop.

Microsoft Authenticator works:-

It’s very hard to remember the various passwords of various accounts. But this app helps you out from it. Just sign up with your username in your Microsoft account once & an approved notification is sent to your phone. A one-time password (OTP) will generate by this app for setting your second layer of protection. After approval, you can set your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN in it. This app supports MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication). This two-factor authentication gives all access to Microsoft products & services like Outlook, One Drive, Office, & more. There is no need to log into each account with passwords, once you have proven your identity once, you will not need to log in again to other Microsoft apps on your device.

You can add other multiple accounts to your app like Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Amazon & many more. Once you entered your login credentials, this app will provide you a one-time password for your authentication. This will help keep your all online accounts secure.

This app is available for Android, iOS & Desktop. You can use this app on your mobiles, tables, or laptop.

How to add other Non-Microsoft Accounts in the Authenticator app?

Open the Microsoft Authenticator app, select Add Account from the Customize & control icon in the upper right, and then select other accounts (Google, Facebook, etc.).

Give your right account information to get a six-digit verification code. This verification code changes every 30 seconds to prevent using a code multiple times.
