Microsoft has released a new app called Microsoft Account for Android devices which will allow simplified authentication process for Microsoft account holders. Users can easily authenticate their account even when two-step verification is enabled on their account, they just need to tap approve for authentication!
Sometimes, Microsoft needs to verify your identity to help make sure that you – and only you – have access to your account. The Microsoft account app makes this easy, and you no longer need to enter security codes from text messages or authenticator apps! Instead, you’ll get a notification when you need to verify your identity. Just tap to approve, and you’re done!The Microsoft account app also works even if:• You’ve turned on two-step verification for your account. You can still verify your identity with a single tap.
• Your device is offline. The app also generates security codes you can use to verify your identity instead.
