    Microsoft Authenticator is a mobile app that runs only on iOS and Android, not on Windows PC or Mac. If it cannot be found in the app store, it is likely being searched for on the wrong device type or in the wrong store.

    To use Microsoft Authenticator:

    1. Install the app on a supported device:
      • On iPhone/iPad (iOS): open the Apple App Store and install Microsoft Authenticator. You can also use the official link: Get the app from the Apple app store.
      • On Android: open Google Play Store and install Microsoft Authenticator. You can also use the official link: Get the app from the Google Play store.
    2. Open the app and sign in or add accounts:
      • After installation, open Microsoft Authenticator.
      • Follow the prompts to add accounts (for example, work, school, or personal Microsoft accounts) as described in Add your accounts to Microsoft Authenticator.
    3. Use it for sign-in:
      • When signing in to a Microsoft account that uses Authenticator, approve the notification or enter the code shown in the app, depending on how the account is configured.

    If the app is being searched for on a PC or Mac, it will not appear because authenticator apps are designed for smartphones for security reasons.
