Windows 10: New Microsoft Authenticator app version 6.3.11 for iOS - July 25

Brink · Jul 26, 2019

Sign in is easy, convenient, and secure when you use Microsoft Authenticator. Use your phone, not your password, to log into your Microsoft account. You simply have to 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, you'll have access to all your Microsoft products and services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Office, and more.

What's New:

We've raised our minimum supported operating system version to iOS 10. To keep getting the latest features and security improvements, please make sure your device runs on iOS 10 or higher.

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.

Best Regards,

Microsoft Authenticator App for iOS: Crashing Upon Launch

Quick update: I was able to add my other accounts and the app seems to be stable now. Here are the steps that I did:

1. Revoke all authenticator access via the MS account portal.

2. Re-install the app on the iOS device.

3. Add the MS account. When prompted to choose an existing MS account (e.g. probably configured in Mail so it was being picked up by the app), ignore that and add a new account from scratch.

4. Go through the authentication process and eventually, the authenticator will sync.
