    Microsoft Authenticator can only be installed on mobile devices (iOS and Android). It is not available for PC or Mac.

    To install on iOS (iPhone/iPad):

    1. Open the Apple App Store on the iOS device.
    2. Search for "Microsoft Authenticator".
    3. Select Microsoft Authenticator published by Microsoft and install it.

    To install on Android:

    1. Open the Google Play Store on the Android device.
    2. Search for "Microsoft Authenticator".
    3. Select Microsoft Authenticator published by Microsoft and install it.

    Microsoft Authenticator is not available for PC or Mac. Authenticator apps are designed for smartphones for security and availability reasons: keeping the second factor on a separate, always-with-you device makes accounts more secure and usable.

    After installation, accounts can be added in the app (for example, by scanning a QR code from the account’s security setup page).
