    Microsoft Authenticator is a free mobile app for iPhone and Android. It is not available for PC or Mac.

    To get it:

    1. On iPhone, open the App Store and search for Microsoft Authenticator.
    2. On Android, open the Google Play Store and search for Microsoft Authenticator.
    3. Install the app on the phone.
    4. Keep the app updated to the latest version.

    To use it for secure document or account access, the usual setup is:

    1. Install the app on the mobile device.
    2. Sign in and add the account when prompted.
    3. If a work or school sign-in asks for extra verification, scan the QR code shown during setup and approve the notification in the app.

    Microsoft Authenticator can be used to verify sign-in with a one-time code, approve sign-in notifications, or sign in without a password.
