Installing Authenticator on Other Android and Huawei Android Phones:
According to the Microsoft technical support engineer, the Microsoft Authenticator app can be installed on Android and Huawei Android Phones using the APK file. However, it has been confirmed that Huawei phones running the HarmonyOS system cannot install Microsoft Authenticator due to system limitations.
In addition, as of December 5, 2024, it has been confirmed that, apart from the three official app stores announced by Microsoft, mainstream app stores such as those of vivo, Xiaomi, and Huawei have also launched Microsoft Authenticator for download (the screenshots below, from left to right, show the Android app stores of vivo, Xiaomi, and Huawei).
