Microsoft Authenticator not auto-backing up 2FA accounts I add on Adroid.
How often does the Android Microsoft Authenticator App refresh the backups? I added accounts about 3 hours ago but the backup date is much older. Does the app auto-backup? I have to turn back-up...
I have the app on my Android phone, the backup does happen automatically.
I'm not sure what the exact schedule is, give it more time, like a day or two.

Ok that is good to know, I will keep waiting to test out how often it auto back ups! UPDATE: still not backing up after 3 days. I even added an account to see if it would trigger a backup.
- I remember once I wanted to force it to backup just to try it out so i deleted the backup with the option in there and then i had the ability to backup from scratch, i guess that's an alternative to signing out/in 🙂
- Hello that is what I have been doing, I delete back up and re-backup. It has been now 3 days for me since I added a 2FA account and still no automatic back up.
Could you try adding a fake account today and then noting if you ever get an automatic back up? you can just put random numbers as the seed
