Windows 10: Authenticator tells me "allow authenticator to auto fill" and go to iphone settings...

Authenticator tells me "allow authenticator to auto fill" and go to iphone settings password options-which I cannot find. iphone 16 with ios 18.0.1., then "you have successfully added [my email address] "phone sign in is turned on," then "to better protect your account, next time you sign in you'll get a notification to approve." and then I cannot do anything else except close the app. Can't add new account which I need to do or anything.

Microsoft Authenticator - iPhone

Moving from an iPhone to an iPhone - my google Authentator app moved the account and the codes across perfectly.

The Microsoft Authenticator app commenced the backup recovery process and then tells me the Microsoft account on phone 1, which has a backup via iCloud is not an account that phone 2 can use

It brings across all passwords via the Microsoft Authenticator App, but all the timed application codes are not brought into the app on the phone 2

How to manage MS Authenticator app on iphone for password access.

Hi Silva,

Thank you for your reply.

I've read through the link, but it confused me more.

I have now found the solution. As there weren't any settings to change in the MS Authenticator web browser, and I could'nt log in to MS Authenticator on my iphone, I ended up finding the solution in the password options on the iphone where i could unselect Authenticator from allowing to fill in the form.

Settings/Passwords/Password Options/Allow filling form/ untick Authenticator.
