Microsoft is user friendly makes one feels safe when using their application because of the validation processes are very tight and cannot be easily cracked by scammers or intruders compared to biometrics only as people can easily copy those now using technology . Google has multiple verification option but they make it easy for one to easily change this option and still maintains safety of the client I a m sure Microsoft can take look into the multple verification using the app in another device issues especially when that devise is no loner available
