Updated September 16, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/b><\/p>\n

We’re introducing two updates to Microsoft Authenticator that simplify the sign-in experience and improve onboarding for Microsoft Entra users. These changes aim to reduce friction during same-device sign-ins and make it easier for users to get started with the app.<\/p>\n

When this will happen<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): <\/b>We will begin rolling out by late September or early October<\/b> 2025 <\/b>(previously mid-September) and expect to complete by mid-October 2025<\/b> (previously early October).<\/p>\n

How this will affect your organization<\/b><\/p>\n

Streamlined same-device number matching<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Today, users signing in on the same mobile device as their Microsoft Authenticator app often encounter a blocker: the notification appears over the sign-in screen, hiding the number they need to enter. This forces them to tap \u201cI can\u2019t see the number\u201d<\/b> to proceed. <\/li>\n
  • With this update, that friction is removed. Users will no longer be required to enter a number when signing in on the same device. Instead, they\u2019ll simply confirm the sign-in by tapping Yes<\/b> or No<\/b>. <\/li>\n
  • On Android<\/b>, all same-device sign-in flows will support this streamlined experience. No number entry required.<\/li>\n
  • On iOS<\/b>, users will also benefit from this change. When the SSO extension is involved, users will still need to switch to the Authenticator app to complete the sign-in, but number entry will not be required. <\/li>\n
  • Users signing in from a different device will continue to use number matching as usual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Improved First Run Experience (FRX)<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The updated FRX consolidates privacy screens and prioritizes adding a Microsoft Entra account<\/b> over a personal Microsoft account. <\/li>\n
    • The \u201cScan a QR code\u201d<\/b> option will also be more prominently displayed to simplify account setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      What you need to do to prepare<\/b><\/p>\n

      No admin action is required. These changes will roll out automatically as users update their Microsoft Authenticator app.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Compliance considerations <\/b><\/p>\n

      No known compliance impacts. Please review internally to ensure alignment with your organization’s policies.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
