Can I Use More Than One Authenticator App?

Sign in is easy, convenient, and secure when you use Microsoft Authenticator. Use your phone, not your password, to log into your Microsoft account. You simply have to enter your username, then approve the notification sent to your phone. Your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN will provide a second layer of security in this two step verification process. After, you'll have access to all your Microsoft products and services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Office, and more.

Microsoft Authenticator also supports multi factor authentication for work, school, and non-Microsoft accounts. The app provides a second layer of security after your password. When logging in, you'll enter your password, and then you'll be asked for an additional way to prove it's really you. Either approve the notification sent to the Microsoft Authenticator, or enter the verification code generated by the app.

Sometimes your work or school might ask you to install the Microsoft Authenticator when accessing certain files, emails, or apps. You will need to register your device to your organization through the app and add your work or school account. Microsoft Authenticator also supports cert-based authentication by issuing a certificate on your device. This will let your organization know that the sign-in request is coming from a trusted device and help you seamlessly and securely access additional Microsoft apps and services without needing to log into each. Because Microsoft Authenticator supports single sign-on, once you have proven your identity once, you will not need to log in again to other Microsoft apps on your device.

Great App until it Loses Your Backup

After reinstalling the App due to changing iPhone I initially had no issue. I started recovery and all my credentials arrived. That was however until I needed to 2FA an account only to find only my Microsoft account being listed.

Seriously, between this App and Microsoft's OneDrive, which always dumps my files, which in regards to OneDrive I have become so used to the loss of my files I now have the files updated to a portable drive. Which makes you wonder what the hell is the point in having files saved to iCloud. You can barely call anything, files, 2FA apps, et cetera et cetera any safer than an old school floppy drive.

Good, but doesn't work on Apple Watch since WatchOS 7

A good and useful security app, which I have used for a long time and thankfully continued to work on my phone since upgrading to iOS 14.
Unfortunately, since also updating my watch, I can no longer respond to notifications on my watch, it just says "failed".
The "app support" goes to Microsoft's websit and will I bother reporting the problem there? LOL No.
Not for want of help, or my own laziness, purely for the sake of my sanity because, from MANY past attempts to get support from them, Microsoft have a "wonderful" way of throwing you through endless, circular loops when you request support for anything other than one of their most expensive flagship products or services and also do not respond to support requests submitted by email or via Windows 10 feedback, etc.
Just fix it please.

Resolved - Autofill broken

Largely I like this app, assuming you follow the instructions, it's easy to use, and offers plenty of options for how to secure accounts. Backup/restore not as easy to use as you may expect, and doesn't recover completely - there's still some manual steps to restore corporate MFA registrations, but all my personal accounts came back fine.

Edit - Autofill appears fixed, and with added ability to add passwords in the app, plus a random password generator, this is looking stronger than ever.
