The best authentication tool

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Authenticator from other similar products?

Microsoft authenticator is more or less similar it Google authenticator but then comes the interface part. I personally like Microsoft interface more and trust Microsoft more than google, so that's my reason to prefer it over other tools.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the interface very much which is much better than other such authentication tools. I feel secure when I keep Microsoft as my authentication app and I get this confidence that my data is safe.

What do you dislike most about this product?

This app could be more simple like others, instead of offering other aspects, it can be more focused in just one part of then problem that is providing a nice authentication tool.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would like to say that one can choose this as per their preferences between this and google. I like both, but I have other reasons, which I mentioned earlier, it's upto a person's choice.

Pros

Reliable
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy
Caring
