The Microsoft Authenticator app is available for watchOS in 2018. It supports personal, work, and school Microsoft accounts and lets you skip your iPhone altogether to complete the authentication process.

Microsoft has now updated the Microsoft Authenticator for iOS help page . To the question “Is Apple Watch supported for Authenticator on iOS?” Microsoft now gives the following answer:

The upcoming release of Authenticator in January 2023 for iOS will not include a watchOS companion app as it is incompatible with Authenticator’s security featuresThis means you won’t be able to install or use the Authenticator on your Apple WatchTherefore, it is recommended to remove Authenticator from Apple WatchThis change only affects Apple Watch, so you’ll still be able to use Authenticator on other devices.
