Description

Users of the Microsoft Authenticator app on iOS will be able to back up account names—including Microsoft work or school accounts, Microsoft personal accounts, and third-party accounts like Amazon or Google—using iCloud and iCloud Keychain. This enables secure, end-to-end encrypted backup of account names and TOTP credentials. When setting up a new iOS device, account names will automatically appear in the app, and users can sign in to complete setup.
