Microsoft to discontinue support and remove its Authenticator app on the Apple Watch | TechNave

Revealed in a support webpage, Microsoft said that the decision to do so was due to the fact that the watchOS is “incompatible with Authenticator security features”. Do note that only the app on watchOS is affected, as Microsoft will still support its Authenticator app on iOS and iPadOS.

Furthermore, Microsoft also recommends users delete the Authenticator app on watchOS as they won’t be able to use it beginning next month. The company however did not elaborate on how watchOS and the Apple Watch are incompatible with the app’s security features. In case you’re not familiar, Microsoft Authenticator allows users to sign in to their Microsoft account or supported apps when two-step verification is enabled. The app also generates one-time use codes so that you do not have to wait for text messages or calls to access your accounts.
