As per numerous other posts after reinstalling ios on my phone and manually reinstalling all of the apps, authenticator can "see" my usernames and passwords stored in it but it refused to AUTOFILL into Safari or apps like it used to. Can this please be fixed immediately?

Carlos Chiari 5 Reputation points2024-06-28T23:53:11.71+00:00 I'm having the same problem.
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app on my iPhone. In my MS account, I removed "Send notification to app" security option & re-added it. I also tried disabling passwordless & MFA. My iPhone iOS is up-to-date.
The passkey side of things is working fine. For example, when I login to my Microsoft account from a PC, a code is sent to my phone & I get the notification on my iPhone and it opens MS Authenticator, checks my FaceID & prompts me to pick the number displayed in my PC - THAT PART WORKS.
However, if I go to any site with a login screen using Safari on my iPhone (stackoverflow, microsoft.com, google, etc) and I click on "passwords", MS Authenticator opens, but displays "Complete Setup".
For me, this started recently (within last 7 days or so). I'm not sure if it's the Authenticator that is broken or Apple did an update that broke it - but THIS IS VERY DISRUPTIVE to my day-to-day work. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!
Hope this helps. -

Victor Balta 0 Reputation points2024-06-30T11:33:19.94+00:00 This stopped working only a few weeks ago. This is a critical part of password management. Currently im having to copy and paste password from Authenticator which defeats the whole purpose
