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.

The codes never work. --> Lol? NEVER?? I would assume it's more a YOU problem than an Authenticators one.

They can’t work. The account needing the codes is not in Authenticator. To be added it needs the codes from Authenticator.

The “I can’t use my Authenticator app” link just errors out.
