Microsoft Authenticator user password reset

Users who forget their passwords when authenticating using Microsoft Authenticator can now reset their password, instead of having to re-register their authenticator.

Follow this process to reset your password as a Microsoft Authenticator user.

Health and care professionals who select the Microsoft Authenticator app method will see the "Forgot password?" link below the "Continue" button.
