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’m also stuck in the loop.. If I somehow try to login with password, it again asks me to approve sign in request on microsoft authenticator app after signing in with my password..
i cant sign into my school email because I need a code from the authenticator, but i cant get the code because the authenticator app also wants a code, but i cant get the code without getting the first code!!
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! ❤️
Any idea for if no device lets you sign in without using the code? My app still isn’t showing the numbers in MA and none of my devices will let me sign in without it
Good video, but I feel like checking for an app software update skills be one of the forest things that July recommended, or at least before needing logout of your account and then reconnect it back to the Authentication app
Problem solved! Hey guys, someone said to me to check old phone, which is still being used by my little bro, and i have realized that initially that App was installed to this phone. An next devices you are trying to install the app will be as ''second" device. All we need is that fking verification code in old phone/device, it works!!!
for me to login to my microsoft account from the authenticator app, i have to enter the code shown in my app and surprise surprise there is no code. how lovely is that? wonderful.
Brother i was facing the problem related login in student portal as the code is not generating on Microsoft authenticator as it was first delete by me, now im trying to open my portal but still required code so please Brother help me
@@angeleenajose2847 brother yesterday i mail my college regarding this and today my College ITS department reset my mfs setting now i can use my Microsoft authenticator Brother now it's working again👍🏻✅
@@josiahfromdao6591 brother my problem is solve now because i send mail to my college and they were solve this within just 2 days now my authenticator is working
This is the worst possible thing Microsoft has came up with🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ I have a school account and can’t get my code unless I download the app, but then when I download the app, the app ask me for a code, but I need the first code to get in!! Like wtf and funny thing is this only happens when I’m off the campus, when I’m at school it doesn’t ask me for codes I just login pretty fine
I have tried everything and i cannot find a single way to find a 6 digit code to any of the apps that i set 2 step verification for. Customer service told me to screw myself. Dont use microsoft authenticator period.
@@kehindeakinyemi9746 😧 oh wow... I would reach out to tech support next. Or restart your phone and try one more time. Or uninstall and reinstall the app
I can't stand comments like this.... Announce that you (supposedly) found a solution to a major problem, but then gate-keep the solution... Literally should have just kept that to yourself if that was your intent. Smh.
@@deblynn091 my solution was to go and disable the two factor authentication (or any other secondary authentication protocol) directly from my service provider. The service provider was the site from which I buy website domains and Microsoft emails. It worked for me.
This app is terrible, especially the auto-jump to authenticator makes it so difficult for phone to login into any accounts that require authenticator passkey.
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.
I have never ever experienced such a terrible app.. this is the biggest failure when it comes to customer service .. I am impressed
Same here!!! Just unbelievable!

Same and I'm now frustrated 😢

What a nightmare. It demands a code to install it but it can't generate the code until it's installed.
Same problem bro
How did you fix yours

I have the same problem, how did u fix it?
@@wontastic_ I had to call the IT guy/ tech support they reset my account. Pretty sure this issue was caused cuz I got a new phone
@@wontastic_ Have you guys figured that out? This is frustrating.
@@kingsleykwakuamoateng2155 bro same smh
Has anyone figured it out?
The App is telling to put the code on the same app it’s in but no where to input the number 😂
Same pls provide solution
For real
Im so fuckin pissed, but comment like this makes me laugh sooo hard😅 bec we are all in the same boat😂
Did you find a solution? If you found the solution, please tell me what it is
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.
Wont even allow me to force stop. Tell u what, this app is really doing my head in and only have 3 days until university starts 😡
Same here
This app is horrendous
Nothing mentioned in the video worked for me.

Nothing mentioned here seems to be working. Seriously reconsider this app and fix these issues.

Still broken.
I really dont like microsoft. But this app sets it in concrete. Google authenticator is better :_ I really hate the deisgn of these apps ..ugh
I can't get on it on my phone and where is the part to put the code in anyway that appears? 😩
Did you solve the problem😢???!!
@@ayahi5603 did you solve the problem?

Nothing in this video helped me
Fix your horrible app MS.
This the stupidest app ever why they created if it has this timing problems!
Annoying app
....
Nonsense app
Utterly useless video, but the Authenticator is even worse.
Garbage app
Crazy
