When you use two-factor verification, the Microsoft Authenticator app helps you sign in to your accounts. Two-factor verification helps you to access your accounts more securely.
Because passwords can be forgotten, stolen, or compromised, two-factor verification is an additional security step that helps protect your account by making it harder for other people to break in.
You can use the Microsoft Authenticator app in multiple ways, including:
-
Providing a prompt for a second verification method after you sign in with your username and password.
-
Providing sign-in without requiring a password, using your username and your mobile device with your fingerprint, face, or PIN.
