A Microsoft app for iOS and Android devices that enables authentication with two-factor verification, phone sign-in, and code generation
No. Microsoft Authenticator does not provide a feature to re‑display or export the original QR codes that were used when accounts were added, so they cannot be viewed or captured again after setup.
For Microsoft Authenticator on Android, it is only possible to enable screenshots of the one-time password (OTP) codes themselves, not the original QR codes:
- Open Microsoft Authenticator.
- Go to Settings.
- Turn on Screen Capture.
- Restart the app.
After that, screenshots can include the OTP codes shown in the app, but not the original QR codes used during registration. To use the same account in another application, it is necessary to:
- Either add that application as a separate authenticator entry using a new QR code provided by the tribunal system, or
- Reconfigure MFA in the tribunal system so it shows a new QR code that can be scanned by both Microsoft Authenticator and the other app (if supported by the tribunal system’s configuration).
