We have an end user that is not receiving the 2 digit MFA code from her work machine to her iPhone within the Microsoft Authenticator app. It has worked in the past but quit working a few days ago (user's phone is not new).
Things that have been tried already but have proven unsuccessful are as follows.
- User was issued a TAP twice on two separate occasions. Both times she entered the one time TAP but received a message that the password was incorrect both times
- Checked her iPhone and workstation clock are in sync
- Had her check to make sure that she did not have Do Not Disturb, disable notifications, etc set on her phone and they weren't.
- Had user uninstall the authenticator app from her phone and reinstall
- User recently updated to the latest software update 26.1
- Had user remove all work accounts from her auth app and readd under Work or School Account. She can scan QR code but when the 2 digit comes up on the workstation, she is not prompted to enter that on her auth app.
- Had her try the alternate method of using the 6 digit code from the auth app and enter that on her workstation, that did not work either.
- We had her restart her phone.
