The most current build of the app is in the Google Play Store, but we're making best efforts to update the app on all other app stores. Because there is no custom Android application package (APK) deployed to any app store, the app can be seamlessly updated either from the store it was downloaded from or the Google Play Store if the user crosses regions.

Instead of using push notifications for multi-factor authentication, users can set up their multi-factor authentication to receive verification codes they can use to verify their identity. These verification codes are valid for 30 seconds and to use them, admins must enable their tenant to perform verification using Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) verification codes.
