Microsoft Authenticator is a free app that helps you sign in to your online accounts more securely. With Microsoft Authenticator, you can use two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security to your accounts.

When you use 2FA, you will be prompted to enter a code from your phone in addition to your password when you sign in to your account. This helps to protect your account from unauthorized access, even if your password is compromised.

To use Microsoft Authenticator, you will need to download the app from the App Store or Google Play. Once you have installed the app, you will need to create an account and add your accounts.

To add an account, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Authenticator.
2. Click on Add Account.
3. Select the type of account you want to add.
4. Enter your account information.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Once you have added your accounts, you will be prompted to enter a code from your phone when you sign in to your accounts. To get the code, open Microsoft Authenticator and look for the account you are trying to sign in to. The code will be displayed on the screen.

If you lose your phone or it is stolen, you can reset your authenticator codes by going to your account settings and clicking on Reset Authenticator Codes.

Microsoft Authenticator is a great way to add an extra layer of security to your online accounts. By using 2FA, you can help to protect your accounts from unauthorized access.
