>Add your phone to Microsoft Authenticator to log in

It's not the same but I made the mistake of trying the Microsoft launcher on my Android phone. Maybe I was thinking it was the MS Authenticator app. What a disaster! It took me a while to figure out how to revert back.

For the curious to undo the MS launcher: settings > apps > click dots in top corner > Default Apps > Home Screen > Choose a different launcher

In fairness, this is the way you remove any android launcher, it's not some crap MS cooked up.

Oh I agree with you. I should have phrased it that it was more the way it was phrased by Microsoft that lead me down the garden path. I assumed MS meant something else.

But I do see many other people asking how do undo the MS launcher so it seems like I wasn't the only fool.

The MS launcher does look interesting but it was not what I wanted.

Me either. I wanted the full, exact windows phone start screen and I did not get that
