  1. Microsoft authentication app not working with requests


    I have my personal Microsoft account configured with two-factor authentication via the app on my Android mobile. It just doesn't work for my personal account but it does for a client's Office 365 account, i.e. the app is working, just not with my personal account. It says this but the request is never received by the app:

    That's when logging onto a new Windows PC but the same happens when I try to logon to this website:

    If I switch to entering the code shown in the app and a text message, it works. It's just the (much handier) request mechanism that's not working.


    Anyone got any bright ideas?

    :)

    Microsoft 2 Step authentication on Android MROBE request

    What does it say, when you tab 'What is this' next to the big MROBE letters - I assume this is what you wonder about?

    Microsoft's account app for Android is not updated since 2014 and it only works with Microsoft accounts. Two-step authentication is an industry standard, this is why I suggest get the Google app instead.
