Two-factor verification helps you to use your accounts more securely because passwords can be forgotten, stolen, or compromised.On your Android device, go to Google Play to download and install the Microsoft Authenticator app.Open the Microsoft Authenticator app, go to your work or school account, and turn on phone sign-in.When you tap on the account tile, you see a full screen view of the account. The Microsoft Authenticator app helps you sign in to your accounts when you’re using two-factor verification. Then, after reinstalling said app, the behavior will go back to normal.So, New Year's resolution (new motto, what have you), "When in doubt, reinstall." Thanks Microsoft. After a certain update, some app will start/stop behaving a certain way. However, when you get a new phone, that's just part of the package.Anyway, I've had this kind of thing happen at least twice. This led me to believe that if I had reinstalled the app on my old phone, notifications might has started working again, but reinstalling the authenticator app is not my idea of a fun evening. The old phone was an Alcatel Idol 4, running Android 6.0, and my new phone is the ZTE Blade Z Max running Android 7.1.1.After I got the new phone, I of course, reinstalled the authenticator app, and push notifications started working again. I started noticing push notifications for the Microsoft Authenticator app weren't coming up after an app update, back in August.
So, I thought I'd give a brief update to my original question.
