Windows 10: Is there another way to create a backup for the Authenticator app in business?

Mario as an admin · Oct 11, 2024

Good morning everyone,why is it not possible to create a backup in the Authenticator app without having a personal account? I only have one account for work and school. Yes, I know I can create a personal account, but my company doesn't want that. What was Microsoft thinking?Is there another way to create a backup for the Authenticator app in business? I need a way to restore the Authenticator app if, for example, the phone is changed or renewed. In particular, I need it for IOS.best regardsMario

Microsoft Authenticator app backup

I have a question about the cloud backup feature in the Authenticator app. Microsoft's instructions say that you need to have a personal Microsoft account, but that the account can't be included in the Authenticator app. Does that mean that if I want to transfer the app to a new phone, I would have to create another Microsoft account, which would be less secure because it's not included in the Authenticator app?

Microsoft Authenticator Account Backup and Recovery: Coming to iOS

Howdy folks,

Many of you have asked for backup and recovery for the Microsoft Authenticator app. We’ve heard that need, and that’s why I’m happy to announce that we’ve just released a backup and recovery feature for that app. Now, your Microsoft Authenticator app will keep your account credentials, so you won’t get locked out of your accounts when you move to a new device.

We’re launching this feature beginning with iOS first, and we’ve already released a private preview to our iOS beta testers. Over the next few weeks, we’ll roll this out to all iOS users. We’re rolling out to iOS first as building the app using iCloud simplified our development. But later this year, we’ll add this feature to the Android version as well.

Try it out!

If you don’t have the Microsoft Authenticator app yet, get it here. If you want to try this feature before it’s available to the general public, sign up here to become a beta tester.

If you’re already one of our beta testers, you can install the update (version 5.7.0) on your iOS device once it’s available to you.

Turn on Backup

In the Microsoft Authenticator app, go to Settings. Under Backup, turn the toggle to ON for Auto backups and follow the prompts.

Behind the scenes, this is how it works:

We encrypt your backup data with your personal Microsoft account

We then store the encrypted backup with your iCloud account

And that’s it! Your account credentials are now backed up in the cloud and will stay up to date when you add, delete, or edit your accounts.

Recover on a new device

To recover the app on a new device, sign in to the same iCloud account and personal Microsoft account as on your previous device.

After you sign in, the following options will be available:

Your OATH verification codes for your third-party accounts and personal Microsoft accounts

The ability to enable push notifications for your personal, work, or school Microsoft accounts

If you have additional questions, check out our Microsoft Authenticator docs. You can also use the Microsoft Authenticator forum
to offer suggestions, ask questions, and talk with our support team and other fans of account security.

I hope you’ll take some time to check this mew feature out. As always, we would love to receive any feedback or suggestions you have.
