Windows 10: Authenticator App - Automatic Request Timeout on Microsoft Browser

I got a new Microsoft Surface and now using Microsoft Edge. Every time I submit a request for MFA, it gives me an automatic request timeout just 2 seconds after my request. I use MFA is required for all transactions every 20 minutes of my work.

Authenticator App - Automatic Request Timeout

I'm using Authenticator app for 2FA and up till now worked fine - I would get a request in the app to confirm the number displayed in browser and then confirm with my fingerprint. However recently everytime a request is triggered, the number flashes for
second and then automatically fails to "Request Timeout" message. I still get the request in the app but its too late by then.

To log in I have to re-enter my password and then enter the One-time password code in the app.

I tried the following:

• removing the accounts from the app,
• removing the app and re-installing it and re-adding the account
• disabling and then re-enabling MFA in security settings in my account

 

Microsoft Authenticator will not automatically detect the sign in request starting today......

It worked all the time before up until today when I try to sign into my outlook.com and there is no two step authenticator sign in request received on my iphone. But if I go into the Microsoft Authenticator app itself and click check for notifications,
I then receive the sign in request. But what I want is the old behavior where the notification will show up automatically. (I did not turn off Microsoft Authenticator notification, the notification in the iphone setting app are all enabled.)

 

Authenticator App - Automatic Request Timeout

I had the same issue.

1. I clicked use password instead.
2. I clicked forgot password.
3. I canceled out of forgot password
4. I clicked authenticate again and the auth client seemed to pace itself correctly.
   
   I had it happening on two separate machines and this fix worked on both.
