The Authenticator app generates security codes you can use to help keep your Microsoft account secure. You can add your Microsoft account to the app by scanning a barcode or by manually entering a secret key. The app implements industry-standard security code generation and may also work with other services and providers. You can learn more about keeping your Microsoft account secure at https://account.live.com/p.

** The Authenticator app is not supported for use with Windows Azure Multi-Factor Authentication. Use the Mutli Factor Authentication app for this.

    Works great every time I've needed to authenticate on my Live email account. Haven't tried on other apps yet.

    Frankly, with decades in a career in Software, this whole process leaves me stumped. In addition, I read all the webpage content on it and find no trace of a simple process flow that this app expects, or offers. There are account names (is this a string of my choice, or an actual account username?), there are codes to be entered (where do I get one - do I make it up, or what?), and then there are six-digit strings appearing and changing on the screen of my phone (what do I do with this - I am logged into my phone, and logged into my PC right now - what are these changing codes for?). I mean, I get that there is something to be done with these sort of random six-digit codes, but when do I want them, and when MUST I use them, now that I've sent this up. Still wondering what the use case or process flow looks like for this thing. At this stage, value to me is negative (not zero) since now I have to figure out when this thing is going to insert itself into my routine and how I'm going to resolve ???s.
