    I really don’t understand this awful app, I can’t use UKG or outlook for work. It tells me to input a number on the authenticator but there’s no prompt box that pops up for me to put the number in.. I deleted the account on the authenticator and signed in again and now it wants me to enter a number again with no pop up prompt on its own app. It makes no sense I’m in a continuous loop getting nowhere

      Think iv figured it out… if you click sign in with a different account. Then type ur email address and password in manually. For some reason it just logs you in to your emails again.

      I had the same problem and here is what I did to fix it:
      -Had to go on outlook and go on my profile
      -Go on security and confidentiality (Sorry mine is in french so idk how it's written for you)
      -Then you go on security information
      -Here you can add a new way for you to connect in your account. Put your number and ask for text.
      -After this is set up, just look up to all that there is a word in blue in french it is "change" but for you maybe it is not.
      -You choose your number as the way to connect.
      -After all that you go to microsoft authentificator and say that you can't use the app, it will ask for another way and thats where you can go through with your number.
      -After that everything follows.
      I hope it helps and if you don't understand tell me.

    If you're stuck in a loop where you get a code, but you are not able to put it in Microsoft Authenticator here's what helped me (on my mobile phone).
    1. On another device, log into mysignins from Microsoft with your school/work email and password. 2. Go to security info. 3. Here you will have an overview of the MFA approved devices. On the tile where it displayed my phone " Phone X ", I pressed delete. 4. On my mobile phone I opened the Microsoft Authenticator app. It will now tell you there is no email registered. 5. Re-add your details and follow the app's instructions. I hope this helps! ❤️

    I hate this program. I run into trouble with it ALL of the time. Every major company or school tends to use it. I get it, security is a concern, but it's quite frankly overboard at this point. Whenever I run into problems with authenticator, I'm easily spending a day or two with the IT team trying to bypass it, rather than working.
