Can I run a duplicate Microsoft Authenticator on 2 or more devices and copy across accounts so that I can use either device to Authenticate?

Dear @Neil Clarke

Yes. You can register Microsoft Authenticator on multiple devices using the same account. This allows you to use either device to approve sign-in requests or generate verification codes, making it a convenient backup if you lose or replace one of your devices.
