Data Storage and Use
- Authenticator only collects data you provide, such as when you scan a QR code to add an account or change a setting.
- Authenticator stores all data locally using the storage services provided by your browser. Technical information on how Authenticator stores account data is available here.
- If you have signed into Edge your account data may be synced with your Microsoft account. You can disable this by either going to the
Storage & Backup menu and changing the Storage Location setting to local or by disabling extension data sync in Edge. Consult the Microsoft Privacy Statement for more information.
- If you login to any 3rd party service under the Storage & Backup menu Authenticator will begin to routinely upload your account data to that service. You can stop this by going to the Storage & Backup menu, clicking the name of the service you signed into, and clicking Logout. Consult the privacy policies of these services for information about how they handle your data.
