According to this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/common-questions-about-the-microsoft-authenticator-app-12d283d1-bcef-4875-9ae5-ac360e2945dd The Microsoft Authenticator app is being discontinued on Apple Watch. I find this very disappointing. I used it many times per day. Yes, it was a bit buggy and unreliable, but it sure was better than picking up my phone every time! Please keep supporting the Watch app!82KViews27likes41CommentsAdd filters/ grouping to microsoft authenticator app accounts
Hello! Hope you are all well! I would like to see filters of personal/ Work and school accounts or by domain. Or even the ability to organise accounts manually into groups. Currently have a long list of personal accounts and work account.9.8KViews12likes10CommentsMicrosoft Authenticator UserVoice or Suggestion/Feedback ??
Where does one go to submit a feature request for Microsoft Authenticator? At this point I have > 50 entries in the Authenticator and scrolling through the list to find something is painful and slow. What is sorely missing is a keyword search function to locate any MFA listing within your app. After you authenticate with your Face, Finger, or whatever...at the top of the window there should be a search field and this field should be a "CONTAINS" search. Hopefully someone that can take this back to the team at Microsoft is reading!4.9KViews7likes5CommentsWindows Hello for Business 0x80090010 NTE_PERM
Hi all, I'm encountering an issue with Windows Hello for Business on the latest version of Windows (July 2025 update). The setup process fails during initialisation, and no biometric or PIN options are being provisioned for the user. Environment: Windows version: 11 24H2 Enterprise (latest update) Deployment mode: Hybrid Cloud Trust Hybrid joined devices Symptoms: Users are prompted to set up WHfB but the process fails at the last step with error 0x80090010 Users who already have WHfB authentication methods created can successfully login Event ID 311 & 303 in the User Device Registration logs Screenshots: Troubleshooting so far: Unjoined and rejoined to Entra ID Granted modify permissions on folder in which NGC container would be created Rolled back to June 2025 update (this worked) So it seems like this is caused or related to the latest Windows Update, which is rather unfortunate for us as we are just beginning to rollout WHfB for our organisation. I'm posting here to raise awareness of the issue, if there is a more appropriate place to post then please suggest.16KViews6likes18CommentsAuthenticating to O365 using Powershell and MFA
I am running into issues with autheticating to O365 on Powershell and in this case my account has been enabled with MFA. I already installed the preview from https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2015/10/20/azure-ad-powershell-public-preview-of-support-for-azure-mfa-new-device-management-commands/ and the authentication basically works but then comes in the question on how to authenticate with Exchange Online? I found a post already where a MSFT engineer states that the only way here would be to create a dedicated admin account without MFA enabled but we strictly enabled MFA on admin accounts for security reasons. I noticed that there are no plans on uservoice (but some suggestions) to enable this. Has anyone already found another solution (except for creating another account without MFA)?Solved96KViews4likes25CommentsADFS Rapid Restore Tool

The temptation to use the Mail.Send application permission in scripts can lead PowerShell developers into trouble because the permission allows access to all mailboxes, including sensitive executive and financial mailboxes. Fortunately, RBAC for Applications allows tenants to control the access that apps have to mailboxes and other Exchange content. All explained here with an example script to test RBAC of Applications. https://office365itpros.com/2026/02/17/mail-send-rbac-for-applications/461Views3likes4CommentsAnnouncing the Microsoft Authenticator app
