"Authenticator app" vs "Microsoft Authenticator"
Hi
Can anyone shed any light on this: after assigning a user a temporary access pass, they set up MS Authenticator, but with the OTP (not notification). They were subsequently able to add MS Authenticator notifications, which led to 2 entries in the authentication methods - "Authenticator app" and "Microsoft Authenticator". Anyone know why?
Many thanks
stromnessian Probably because they are two different default methods. When using the TAP it's a code to bypass for setting it up. When adding the authenticator again you're adding the notification option.

- Thanks. That makes sense. I guess there must be a good reason why it's set that way rather than having the notification method after entering the TAP.
