Guess they'll let anyone in here Katyanna Quach Wed 19 May 2021 // 07:02 UTC Share Copy The trustworthiness of Google's Chrome Store was again called into question after an extension billing itself as Microsoft Authenticator was published by the software souk without the simplest of checks. The legit Microsoft Authenticator generates one-time codes for multi-factor authentication, and lately gained password-manager-like features. However, it’s only available as a smartphone app, and not as a Chrome extension. When someone submitted a dodgy Chrome add-on called Microsoft Authenticator to the browser's store, one would hope Google would have given it more than a cursory glance and checked that it was legit. Instead, the bogus extension was accepted into the store.
