Hideez Blog | Identity Management News, Best practices & Tips

Choosing between Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 depends on how your team works, shares, and secures data. Google offers a more seamless experience in browser-based environments, especially Chrome, with strong real-time collaboration tools and streamlined cloud-first storage via Google Drive. Microsoft, on the other hand, excels in desktop-based productivity, offering advanced tools like Excel and Word, deeper system control, and stronger integration with Windows infrastructure. Both platforms offer strong security, but Microsoft users are reportedly more prone to phishing attacks, making MFA critical. While each platform has its pros and cons, both lack phishing-resistant authentication by default. That’s where Hideez comes in — offering passwordless, FIDO2-compliant access for Google and Microsoft environments, improving security, compliance, and user experience.

If your Microsoft Authenticator app stops working, you’re not alone — common issues include syncing failures, connectivity problems, or device misconfigurations. To resolve these, start with basic fixes like adjusting your device’s date/time settings, disabling VPNs, and turning off battery optimization on Android.
