That would make the intruder able to access your account and there you have it. It would be terrible bad if someone with bad intentions were trying to break into your account while the kids were playing as they just click whatever blocks there view of the current activity. If you are a family, you have times where the kids just need to cool off and you let them sit with your phone. So, what is all the fuss about? Let us have an example: (I am not going to explain what they are in this blog post) I give 2 examples:īring your own device (BYOD) and Company owned device (COD). Well in these days where users must do more and more themselves, it is not easy to make sure they remember to set the app lock. Microsoft Authenticator app have had an app lock for a long time, but it was set to “off”, which means that you had to go set the setting manually on every device using the app. This blogpost is not intended to go into “how to configure the app” or using it, but to inform about a new coming feature change. Now you can use the app as a no-password sign-in (no big news about that) but that makes the life of users and not at least security, much easier and more secure. Just hit the authenticate button when asked (if you know it is you it prompts for of course )
By using the app, we can do two-factor authentication without the need of email or text codes verification.
It has served us well with easier and safer access to our resources using Microsoft accounts as well as Azure AD accounts. Microsoft Authenticator app has been around for a long time, originally released as beta in 2016.
