Yeah... this:
[Update 4/18/17 3:08pm Pacific: A few people have asked if this works with Windows Phone version Microsoft Authenticator. Windows Phone makes up <5% of the active users of our Authenticator Apps so we have prioritized getting this working with iOS and Android for now. If/When it becomes a big success on those high scale platforms, we will evaluate adding support for Windows Phone.]
Not cool, not cool at all.
Vasil,
It doesn't work on my Nokia 3310 either, so they should develop it for that too. Windows Phone is barely used, so why bother extending development efforts to it?
Maybe because a lot of organizations actually made the switch to WP once MS bought Nokia's mobile business and made some promises around it? :)
Even back then, there was barely any attention given to Microsoft's own platform from the different dev teams. I cannot even recall how many times we've heard the "wait for WP10, wait for UWP" excuse. We waited, and now the platform is dead, because if even your own devs dont want to release apps for it, who will...
But anyway, it's about time I ditch my WP :)
