2 factor authentication is important to me and should be to you as well but for those want to use Microsoft authentication, why does it suck so much? Its simple enough to set up. But using it is a literal nightmare. It worked the day I set it up on my phone. Logged into my Outlook mail on the web just fine. Day 2, nothing changed but day 3 my password doesn't work. It won't even authenticate. So I'm blowing it out and starting over. Same result after the 3rd day. Password doesn't work, nor does authentication. Removed it. That was 6 months ago.
Fast forward to this week. Recently my wife wanted to use dual authentication because she is concerned about security. We tried Microsoft authenticator but I warned her, it may be problematic. Two days later, I get a call from her at work saying her password does not work. All I could do is tell her to remove it. Now I have to hear how the smart computer guy would make her use Microsoft authenticator.
WHY DOES IT SUCK SO MUCH! At work I use DUO mobile. Never have a problem getting into anything. It always just works. Maybe I'm holding it wrong. I hate to ask but is Google authenticator any better?
