Sign in with the Microsoft Authenticator app

The following information describes the experience of using the Microsoft Authenticator app for two-step verifications. There are two different ways to use the app. You can receive push notifications on your device, or you can open the app to get a verification code.

To sign in with a notification from the Microsoft Authenticator app

  1. Sign in to an application or service such as Microsoft 365 using your username and password.
  2. Microsoft sends a notification to the Microsoft Authenticator app on your device.

To sign in using a verification code with the Microsoft Authenticator app

If you use the Microsoft Authenticator app to get verification codes, then when you open the app you see a number under your account name. This number changes every 30 seconds so that you don't use the same number twice. When you're asked for a verification code, open the app and use whatever number is currently displayed.

  1. Sign in to an application or service such as Microsoft 365 using your username and password.
  2. Microsoft prompts you for a verification code.

    Enter verification code
  3. Open the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone and enter the code in the box where you are signing in.
