  2. Microsoft Authenticator New Phone

    Hello !!

    I currently have the ms authenticator app (personal ms account) on my android phone and works as it should, but in a few weeks i will buy a new phone to upgrade my current one.

    I'm not sure how to do the recovery on my new phone. This article says:

    "Adding Authenticator to your new device doesn't automatically remove the app from your old device. Even deleting the app from your old device isn't enough. You must both delete the app from your old device AND tell Microsoft or your organization to forget and unregister the old device."

    AND also says:

    "To remove the app from a device using a personal Microsoft account, go to the two-step verification area of your Account Security page and choose to turn off verification for your old device."

    I check my ms account security settings There is not an option to delete my device that have the ms authenticator. The only option that maybe make sense is to remove the "Send sign-in notification." and as i understand if i do that it will be disable the ms authenticator and maybe the cloud backup too not the device itself.

    Also says that i must delete the app from the phone, i must do that before or after i install the ms authenticator to my new phone, and how i can do that if i cant access my old phone eg. it's broken or it's stolen ??

    If i delete the app from my old phone, then install the app to my new one, and click on the "Restore backup" option will be that enough ??

    Thanks in advance !!

    New Microsoft Authenticator app version released for iOS - Aug. 30

    Two factor authentication (TFA) is easy, convenient, and secure when you use Microsoft Authenticator. Use your phone, not your password, to log into your Microsoft account. Just 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 youve signed in with two factor authentication (TFA), youll have access to all your Microsoft products and services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Office, and more. Microsoft Authenticator version 6.6.4 for iOS What's New:
    • We're always working on new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. Make sure you stay updated with the latest version for the best authentication experience.
