Microsoft Authenticator got an estimated 2.8M downloads over 30 days on the App Store.
Estimated for Oct 3 – Nov 1, 2026. It is free and its App Store page lists no in-app purchases, so it makes no App Store revenue. Money it makes elsewhere, such as subscriptions sold on its own website, isn't counted.

What the store says
Use Microsoft Authenticator for easy, secure sign-ins for all your online accounts using multi-factor authentication, passwordless, or password autofill. You also have additional account management options for your Microsoft personal, work or school accounts. Getting started with multi-factor authentication Multi factor authentication (MFA)provides a second layer of security. When enabled, during login after entering your password, you’ll be asked for an additional way to prove it’s really you. Either approve the notification sent to the Microsoft Authenticator, or enter the one-time password (OTP) generated by the app. The OTP codes have a 30 second timer counting down. This timer is so you never have to use the same time-based one-time password (TOTP) twice and you don’t have to remember the number. The OTP doesn’t require you to be connected to a network, and it won’t drain your battery. You can add multiple accounts to your app, including non-Microsoft accounts like Facebook, Amazon, Dropbox, Google, LinkedIn, GitHub, and more. Getting started with passwordless Use your phone, not your password, to log into your Microsoft account. Just enter your username, then approve the notification sent to your phone. Your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN will provide a second layer of security in this two-step verification process. After you’ve signed in with two factor authentication (2FA), you’ll have access to all your Microsoft products and services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Office, and more. Microsoft personal, work or school accounts Sometimes your work or school might ask you to install the Microsoft Authenticator when accessing certain organization resources. You will need to register your device to your organization through the app and add your work or school account. Microsoft Authenticator supports cert-based authentication by issuing a certificate on your device. This will let your organization know that the sign-in request is coming from a trusted device and help you seamlessly and securely access additional Microsoft apps and services without needing to log into each. Microsoft Authenticator may request the following optional permissions, which require your consent. You can continue to use Microsoft Authenticator without granting these permissions. However, some features may be limited or unavailable. For more information, please see below: - Face ID: To enable app lock and help protect your accounts - Camera: To scan QR codes when adding accounts to Microsoft Authenticator.

Download figures are each storefront's own chart-based estimate, projected to the full period. The worldwide figure also includes storefronts without a chart (priced from rating activity) and storefronts we don't track, so these rows add up to less than it. Revenue is each storefront's own estimate, as on the country pages, and does not add up to the worldwide figure. Countries we don't track yet aren't listed.

“this app makes me feel suicidal. i have genuinely lost my sanity on numerous occasions because of this app. it never works. EVER. i’ve looked into it so many times and never get the issue resolved, this app has brought me to tears numerous times, i hate it.”

“Does not work properly with iPhone Duo. When prompted for 2FA, the iPhone Duo’s front display is too small, so the keypad is blocking the Approve button, and there is no way to hide the keypad once you’ve entered the number.”

“Good but not intuitive. When trying to sign in to Microsoft account from Authenticator app, it should not give the option of signing in using the code on Authenticator app”

“No Escalation. I am getting login notifications that are not from me and I have no way to flag or report those attempts as suspicious. I dont know if Microsoft is protecting users from bad actors consistently attempting to trigger Accept in the Authenticator. It feels very risky.”

“Doesn’t work. This app sucks, and I cannot get into my email. Is there no way to bypass this authentication? They say the fixed the bugs, I have seen no difference and where’s the customer support? Microsoft needs to fix this so it is actually beneficial to the users!”

“Good to have. I like having the added security. It used to send notifications whenever someone or even I tried to access my accounts which was helpful but it no longer does that. Would have given 5 stars.”

“Does Not Load Anything. I downloaded this for my work account, thinking that it would be faster than the other two-factor authentication methods. That was a mistake. When I click on the QR code icon, it took about a minute to open. Then it would not load the camera. Deleted app after three failed attempts to do this. Will not be using this app.”

App details: Apple iTunes Search API, updated Oct 20, 2026, 11:45 AM UTC.
Rankings: App Store chart positions we collect several times a day. A missing rank doesn't mean zero.
Downloads and revenue: AppTrendKit estimates, not official Apple or developer numbers. Revenue is what users spend, before Apple's commission.
Model: public-signal-ensemble-v6. Ranges get wider when we have less data.
Confidence: Medium · generated Nov 2, 2026, 1:01 PM UTC.
Country figures are each storefront's own chart-based estimate and never show more confidence than the worldwide figure. Worldwide downloads can be higher than their sum: they also count storefronts where the app doesn't chart (priced from rating activity) and storefronts we don't track.
