If you’re adding a new account on your Android or iPhone, you’ll be prompted to enable this feature automatically.Īfter everything is configured, instead of entering your complex password with uppercase, numbers, and symbols, you’ll get a notification on your phone, and then select Approve to sign-in.Īccording to Microsoft, using the new phone sign-in option makes the process easier than using two-step verification, and a lot more secure than only using a password. Once the account is configured, on the Microsoft Authenticator app, select the dropdown button on the account tile, and select the Enable phone sign-in option. Then you need to add a Microsoft account as you would normally do the first time on any service with your username and password. If you want to try this new feature, you need to install the Microsoft Authenticator on your Android or iPhone device. If you’ve used the Authenticator app in the past, you know that it was possible to use the app for two-factor authentication requests, but in this new update, you no longer need to enter a password when prompted to sign-in on your Microsoft account. Microsoft Authenticator app now adds a new sign-in option to let you get into your Microsoft accounts only using your phone –no more passwords.
