Microsoft Authenticator Setup
Stephanie Dejoode
I would like to know the possibility for integrating Google and Microsoft authenticator application for MFA in AUth0. Is it possible? If then it would be great if someone can provide the documentation for the same.
Important: The first time you set up the Microsoft Authenticator app, you might receive a prompt asking whether to allow the app to access your camera (iOS) or to allow the app to take pictures and record video (Android). You must select Allow so the authenticator app can access your camera to take a picture of the QR code in the next step.
Visit the Apple app store or Google play store on your device and install the Microsoft Authenticator app. Alternatively, the authenticator application can be downloaded directly to your desktop using the Microsoft Authenticator Website or by scanning the QR code with your phone.
Users traveling abroad may experience issues trying to log into their Microsoft account if the account is configured to use text message rather than the authenticator app. These instructions show how to change over to using authenticator.
Using an authenticator app for two-factor authentication (2FA) is more secure than SMS messages, but what if you switch phones? Here's how to move your 2FA accounts if you use Microsoft Authenticator.
Make sure you have a copy of the backup codes for each account before you attempt to change your authenticator device. You'll then be able to use those if you experience any issues when trying to recover your accounts.
These measures generally require users to not only enter their password when accessing accounts, but to also complete an additional step such as providing a one-time code that's usually generated via an authenticator app. Microsoft Authenticator originated in 2016 and has since been used to facilitate easier and more secure sign-ins, also providing users with the option to sign into their Microsoft accounts without a passcode.
ITS strongly recommends using the Microsoft Authenticator app as your preferred MFA authenticator, especially with this new security feature. For instructions on making the change, please see How do I switch to using the Authenticator app instead of receiving a phone call? on the ITS Knowledgebase and Download and install the Microsoft Authenticator app on the Microsoft support website.
I figured it out. Add an authenticator extension to your web browser, such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The extension will let you scan the QR code by dragging a window around it with your mouse. Once you get confirmation that Concur was added, access the extension again and the 6-digit number will show. Type that into the Concur Two Factor Authenticator page, and you should be good to go. Worked for me anyway. Good luck.
3. Now set up a method of authentication. The default method is the recommended Microsoft Authenticator application, but you can use another authenticator. To download and install the Microsoft Authenticator application on your phone, click Download now on this screen to send an installation text message to your phone.
Virtual authenticator apps implement the time-based one-time password (TOTP) algorithm and support multiple tokens on a single device. Virtual authenticators are supported for IAM users in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and in other AWS Regions.
