Microsoft Authenticator

Authenticator is a tool for additional protection of private information in the digital space. The owner can now verify sign-in to their Microsoft account and other accounts using their smartphone. This increases security and simplifies the identity authentication process.

To use the functionality of the application, it is enough to enter the data of the services and sites to which you want to apply the two-step verification method. This can be a Microsoft account (personal or work), Facebook, Dropbox, and so on. When adding a third party service, you will need to manually enter a password or scan a QR code provided by the account provider.

• selection of ways to increase the protection of personal and work accounts;
• adding an arbitrary number of accounts;
• backup and restore from the “cloud”;
• declared support for some wearable gadgets;
• account activity log.

With two-factor authentication, you don’t have to worry that personal information will fall into the wrong hands, because even if an attacker gains access to the account password, he will no longer be able to bypass the additional protection Authenticator.
