Microsoft has released a new update for the Microsoft Authenticator app. The company has also released a minor update for the Photos which most likely includes several bug fixes and other improvements. However, for Microsoft Authenticator, Microsoft has added the ability to add a Google or Facebook account which will allow you to use two-factor authentication for your Google or Facebook accounts. Other than that, there doesn’t seem to be any other new features in the update.

It is worth noting that the latest updates for the apps could be available to Windows Insiders only, which means they will get pushed out to the public if they pass internal testing and Microsoft doesn’t find any critical issues. Additionally, it is also worth mentioning that the Authenticator app is only available for Windows 10 Mobile while the Photos app is available on both PCs and Mobile. Nonetheless, you can get the apps from the links below.
