Please note that I'm unsure if what I'm reporting here might be an 'Authenticator: 2FA Client' extension v6.3.3 bug or not. But anyway at least what I'm reporting here might just be useful for troubleshooting purposes.
**N.B.** All my tests were made using Microsoft Edge Enterprise v109.0.1518.140 (Official Build)(64-bit) which is last version ever for Windows 7 SP1 x64 platform.
After choosing **Settings -> Backup -> [ Download Backup File ]** while in a Microsoft Edge InPrivate session, (and while Authenticator icon was not visible in browser toolbar) browser may not display own dialog box with **[ Open ] [ Save As ]** buttons, so end user doing this operation for 1st time, may not really understand what's happening and may even repeat pressing [ Download Backup File ] more times without properly noticing that anyway at least browser download icon has properly appeared in browser toolbar. So he/she may decide to repeat same operation from within a standard Edge session, and also after enabling Authenticator icon display in browser toolbar, after choosing **Settings -> Backup -> [ Download Backup File ]** he/she'll be able to see expected browser own dialog box with **[ Open ] [ Save As ]** buttons, and by so doing he/she'll also be able to notice that all his previous attempts to [ Download Backup File ] were indeed properly queued and are still awaiting to those actions to be completed. Now if user should decide to cancel last attempt to **[ Download Backup File ]** and to revert to previous Edge InPrivate session, he/she'll also unfortunately be able to verify that only 1st queued file 'Save As' action will be completed correctly succeeding in saving file with '**authenticator.txt**' proposed filename in chosen folder, while his/her additional attempts will only always fail. When trying to '**Save As**' OS dialog box will only open with an empty filename and proposed file type maybe even be '_File.ME_' instead of typically expected '**Text Document (*.txt)**' especially if chosen folder name was terminating with an extension (i.e. ...\folder.me in my tests). And because any further attempt to choose '**Cancel**' option at the very right of every queued file will also do nothing the only remaining option to complete actions for '**authenticator (1).txt**' and '**authenticator (2).txt**' still queued files will be to revert again to a standard Edge browser session where indeed both '**Save As**' or '**Cancel**' actions, if chosen, will then just complete correctly as normally expected.
**P.S.** Please also note that I'm unsure if above reported issue only faced when operating from within an Edge InPrivate tab session _(equivalent to Chrome Incognito tab or a Firefox Private tab)_ might really depend from 'Authenticator: 2FA Client' extension v6.3.3 code being used. If not reproduced with latest and more updated Edge Enterprise versions chances are that issue might even just depend from browser code while handling add-on/extension operations from within an InPrivate session tab. **JFYI** I'll also report issue to Microsoft directly via Edge own '**Send feedback**' feature, and if you too can reproduce same issue I described above, then I suggest you to please do the same.
**P.P.S.** My Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate client was also quite memory loaded (a monitoring tool called '**_Memory Defragmenter_**' shown as icon from SysTray area also typically showed memory usage of 89% during my tests even if I have **24GB RAM**) but this may even not have any kind of dependency on results I experienced since a solution was always found while operating in an Edge standard session.
Regards

Rechercherichtung

Beginnen Sie damit, den gemeldeten Ablauf Settings → Backup → Download Backup File im InPrivate-Modus von Microsoft Edge zu reproduzieren, und verwenden Sie, falls verfügbar, die angegebene Edge- und Windows-7-Umgebung. Vergleichen Sie das Verhalten mit einer standardmäßigen Edge-Sitzung und überprüfen Sie, ob wiederholte Downloads korrekt geöffnet, gespeichert oder abgebrochen werden können. Als abgeschlossen gilt die Aufgabe, wenn festgestellt wurde, ob der Fehler in der Erweiterung oder im Browser liegt, und ein reproduzierbares Ergebnis dokumentiert wurde.
