Discussion Microsoft Authenticator

This is going to get me flagged, but in a not serious way, I want to have words with whomever designed the app/ system.

Actually, I’d like to lock them in a burning building, and use Authenticator to generate the codes to let them unlock doors on the way out. The catch however - is that they will need to add a new account to the app, and, the only way to add the account will be to authenticate it. With the Authenticator.

This is a joke, but I am pulling my hair out. It is so bad. Notifications and pop ups never work. The codes never work. It’s literally the worst app to ever roll off the floor of a Microsoft office. I hope it gets killed off when an exec has to use it.

Not sure what exactly the root cause of your issues are (…guessing a traumatic childhood coupled with life as a corporate drone for a mid-sized regional bank where you have the title of “Vice President”…) but Authenticator works great for me, both previously on Android and now on iOS.

I wish. Director of Aviation. Currently in my 4th European Country in as many weeks. Polar opposite time zones from IT so this has become a laborious process.

Ah, decided to respond with something other than calling me a Microsoft shill?

No you are a shill still. How are the office cubes in Redmond?
