microsoft authenticator

i did create a new/app password then entered password in 1password authenticator login

keitht1958 When you went to the live.com page, did you click on "Add a new way to sign in or verify" or "Create a new app password"?

I think you need to do the former, but sounds like you did the latter.

ok i followed link selected add password for app selected outlook.com
pasted code in 1password authenticator login it accepted password
now i see spinning blue circle which sometimes turns red
went in watchtower but microsoft not there so not sure if this worked

keitht1958 One time passcodes are the rotating 6 digit code generated by authenticator apps and 1Password for 2FA. You will not find one on a website. Before an authenticator app or 1Password can generate the one time passcodes you need to give it the long term secret used to generate them. This is usually contained in a QR code.

Are you looking for the QR code which will allow 1Password to generate one time passcodes for accessing your Hotmail account? If so, follow the second set of instructions above. You can reach the same page by clicking on your account name in the top right of your Hotmail page and selecting View account.

no i already microsoft authenticator on my phone using it for hotmail
but 1password does not show it in two factor setups
so i was trying to enter one time password but cant find it on microsoft website

keitht1958 Are you trying to set-up Microsoft Authenticator so that you can use it to access your personal Microsoft account? Or are you trying to use 1Password to achieve the same?

If using Microsoft Authenticator then download the app to your phone, click on the three dots in the top right, select Add account, click on (Microsoft) personal account and sign in to your Microsoft personal account.

If using 1Password then navigate to the following page in a browser:

https://account.live.com/proofs/manage/additional

Click on Add a new way to sign in or verify -> Use an app -> set up a different authenticator app
