  2. FireFox Account Sign in Authentication Issue

    I don't have an answer, but maybe something here can help. (It looks like maybe the time sync for codes is off. It's in one of these posts.)

  3. Microsoft Authenticator App - Unable to sign in.

    I am using an iPhone. I had to do a hard reset at some point. After reinstalling the Microsoft Authenticator App, I am unable to sign into the app. I try to sign in, then my 2-step verification kicks in telling me a code has been sent to the authenticator app, which is what I am trying to sign back into. The other options like text and my other email seems to be not working. This is for my personal account. I have tried to remove the authenticator from my two step verification on my PC when signed into my account, but it will not remove. Does anyone know how to get the app to start working again?

    Microsoft Authenticator

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you want to how the Microsoft Authenticator App works.

    The Microsoft Authenticator app helps you sign-in to your accounts if you use two-factor verification. Two-factor verification helps you to access your accounts more securely, especially while viewing
    sensitive information. Because passwords can be forgotten, stolen, or compromised, two-factor verification is an additional security step that helps protect your account by making it harder for other people to break in.

    You can use the Microsoft Authenticator app in multiple ways, including:

    • Respond to a prompt for authentication after you sign in with your username and password.
    • Sign-in without entering a password, using your username, the authenticator app, and your mobile device with your fingerprint, face, or PIN.
    • As a code generator for any other accounts that support authenticator apps.

    I suggest you refer to the article for more information on
    What is the Microsoft Authenticator app?and you may also
    refer to the article about Microsoft Authenticator app FAQ

    However, let me point you in the right direction where you can get the appropriate assistance regarding this issue. I suggest you to post your query in
    Microsoft Authenticator App forums
    where we have expertise and support professionals.

    Hope it helps.

    Regards,

    Zaki
