Microsoft Authenticator NEW Features that you MUST Know! 

Thanks, top session on Authenticator with Number Matching - it's a hard one to get to learn, great to see different ways on how / why to approach it.

I am very excited that Microsoft is going to let the users know what system they are authenticating for! I appreciate your detailed instructions and explanations. Keep it up, Andy!

Hi Andy. Another good video. Really like this video, one theme and the length of the video is not too long. Looking forward to your short videos.

Enabled number matching a few months back. Good feature to help MFA fatigue. Not a fan of shorts but appreciate the pressure RU-vid is putting on content creators, so it's inevitable that you have to do it. It wont impact my viewership though as I only click on the full videos and ignore all shorts no matter how clickbaitable they seem, so go ahead with with the shorts. It may bring in more viewers, and those that don't like them don't have to watch them. I don't really understand why people complain about RU-vid Channels offering free content, you are not forcing anyone to watch videos or shorts if they don't want to. Thanks for the content, and the time you put in.

No need of 'shortzzz' videos. And, of course, today I learn something new :) . Thank you!

Thanks for sharing the knowledge! You are amazing 😇

Great learning video

Good info and timely.

You rock sir Andy!

Thanks great video 👍

Yes the solution some kind of data connection either via mobile or WiFi.

Love the video as always Andy. I would subscribe again if that were possible! Thanks for sharing.

Great video. Thanks for the explanation. Do you have any video on Outlook app for mobile device, its limitation in security and management?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

💙Thank you.

Great content

Can't tell it enough, numero uno hero

Been using number matching for over a year. The new features are cool, but you missed one new feature that I think is important. Microsoft added the ability to do passwordless sign in on iOS for multiple accounts and tenants. Previously, only one account could be setup for passwordless.

the shorts are really good

thx

Hi Andy, just wondering what you use to create your videos and blur parts of the video?

Hi Andy, do have a link on how to setup and configure that allows users to use the outlook mobile app to do mfa authentication. As in the outlook app has the option but greyed out for some Users and other users can enable it.

Hi Andy, Great video as always and keep up the great work. FYI as discussed, Microsoft recently changed Microsoft 365 E5 subscription as they don't offer the free trial anymore, you have to take out the £48.10 user/month annual commitment subscription. Kindest regards

Great video. Excuse the noobie question but if I'm travelling overseas and don't have any mobile plan then how would the number challenge work? Would Internet provided by an Internet Cafe work?

We have a 3rd party enterprise application that is constantly requesting number matching MFA on intune enrolled IOS devices, is there a way to remove the MFA prompt from that application as long as the sign in is being requested from an enrolled device? the devices are Hybrid joined

Hey man,....Here's the problem,...I can't sign in to the DEO Florida Reimployment website with the 8 digit upgrade in the Microsoft Authentication App, ...On the DEO website, you can only type in a 6 digit number,...not a 8 digit number,...🤔🤔🤔 is there another app that will work with the DEO website,...??? (Florida)

The app for me is using to much of my battery like not even a minute and it’s all ready down 3% I’m not sure if it’s my phone that’s the problem but I was wondering if you would know why

Hi, can you help me with a problem with the authenticator? when I receive the code on my screen the box doesn't pop up so I'm not able to ripe the code.

I've noticed Azure and Power BI are asking for 2FA to sign in. I currently have this app paired to my personal phone at home and have been using it for a while to sign into 365, xbox, Microsoft Account etc at home. I also a work Microsoft Account and have recently been asked by my work email to use 2FA as a sign in I won't to keep my work details and home details separate. However I noticed the Authentication App wanted to pair to my work email. Is it possible to use this app with two distinct accounts?

So it tells me I need a code from them Microsoft app but I’m already in the app how do I find the code

Hello At time Code 9:09 did you say authentication strength ? Sorry for the inconvenience, but that was the only word I didn't understand Otherwise good

Is it me, or my player? Is there something wrong in the sync between audio and video?

Can your job track your location by using the Microsoft Authentication

Hi Andy how do I get a 6 digits instead of 8?

No shorts. I close that section as soon as I see it on YT. Why would anyone record a video in portrait mode when they know that the majority of us will watch in landscape mode and waste 2/3 of the screen space ?

Can location be tracked and saved by IT admin?

going to assume if you're using a VPN on your device which is putting you physically in a different part of the world this will trigger this feature, correct?

Is Authy or microsoft authenticator better for avoiding hackers? (Although authy needs the phone number)

How to access the challenge when I already have the app open? It seems that if I miss the notification there's no way to login anymore. This is utterly retarted. I should be able to access the authentication challenge from having the app open.

Great video, but enabling this feature does not reduece your chances of being hacked by 99+ %. There are other methods that get around the MFA, so while this is a huge reduction, it is just one piece of the attack surface.

I have a question, I tried to login to my Microsoft account using Microsoft authenticator and the notifications don't show up, I've reinstalled and offloaded the app, turned off do not disturb mode and other apps that prevent notifications, unblocked contacts, did everything in the Microsoft support website, and did absolutely everything and I still don't recieve the notification? I also have double checked the email and my account and I tried to try again in different devices. Please help?

How do I get my recovery key?

How do I prevent the Authenticator to know my location or change it to a location of my desire?

I thought this was a tutorial on the authenticator

Now if only shared mailboxes worked just like adding a second/third account to outlook we could implement them and have MFA. Users love multiple shared Accounts in outlook and MFA kills the experience.

WARNING FLASHING LIGHT in the channel intro at beginning of video

I'm not a fan of shorts or any portrait-style social media to be honest. Maybe it makes sense if you're talking about a mobile app but for desktop stuff, then the format is all wrong.

"It's more than a numer" ... ? What's a numer ?

not user friendly and too interfering frustrating

Shorts is all about posers showing of. Often just 1 mS showing the crux of the video would often help immensely, but it doesn't happen. Don't lower yourself to shorts. Believe me It's something you don't have to do.

I am locked out because of this feature. No happy talk from me. I gotta find a human being to untangle this mess. I am convinced that Microsoft is just a BOT. Authenticator tips online typically start with "Login with your credentials". Well, how does one do that when login is blocked ? The rollout was a sin.
