Pros / Cons
  • I use MS Authenticator every day, multiple times, for multiple passwordless logins, and it’s almost so good I don’t notice that one used it.
  • Microsoft Authenticator doesn't have the desktop app so everything has to be done through the mobile app, which can be inconvenient if you're working on a computer.

  • We use it for two-factor authentication for VPNs with different manufacturers, also for MFA for remote desktops and this gives us more peace of mind by having double verification in the processes.
  • AuthPoint app will not allow me to sort tokens or filter / search for tokens which is a burden when users have dozens on tokens.
