About microsoft authenticator
Microsoft Authenticator is a two-factor app Microsoft released on January 13 2015, previously branded Azure Authenticator, and it is the phone client IT desks still point staff to when Entra ID asks for a number match on login. Wikipedia says it supports standard TOTP numeric codes, numeric-code and notification passwordless sign-in for Microsoft accounts, and passkeys for Entra ID work or school accounts, with cloud backup available except on Entra ID accounts. Android May 2026 Update 6.2605.3042 shipped May 7 2026; iOS 6.8.49 shipped June 11 2026. Microsoft Autofill lived inside the same app on phones and as a Chrome extension; the Chrome extension retired on December 14 2024, and Wikipedia dates the password-manager shutdown to mid-2025. ZDNET reported on July 31 2025 that the app would stop managing passwords and most passkeys. Search interest at 70 is about signing in, not about a password vault. The product still sits next to Microsoft Teams in the work stack; microsoft teams search interest is 35, down 31.37% over 30 days from 51.
