Windows 10: Microsoft Authenticator

Hello,recently I have a problem using MS Authenticator. If I want to do something with my outlook.com account. If I want to do something with my outlook.com account, I always need to send a notification. In MSA it is necessary to confirm three times fingerprint and it still does not work. After entering the password everything works as before. Previously, it was only necessary to confirm the request. Now you need to enter the password first each time. I tried to remove the application from my phone and outlook.com account and then add it again, unfortunately the situation is still the same.I

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
