Hi, the Authenticator app is great when an alert pops up and I can approve it, but annoying when I have to scroll through my accounts to find a code.

Any chance of getting a search field adding? (iOS first 👍)

Thanks

    Waiting for this feature for so long... I can search within passwords, why not on the Auth tab?

    I can't believe that 1) that a search feature in the (otherwise excellent) "Microsoft Authenticator" app (at least on Android) is not available, and 2) I can't believe that more people aren't asking for that (super basic) functionality of being able to search for existing accounts in the app.

    This search functionality has become more important, as I have added more accounts to my "Microsoft Authenticator" app (of course). However, since there still is no search functionality in that app, I have no choice but to migrate my 2FA accounts to my second-choice authenticator app :(

    Please add the very basic feature of search, to the "Microsoft Authenticator" smartphone apps ASAP. Thank you!!
