It’s pronounced Au-then-ti-ca-tion
Can I ask a question? Is it really that difficult to pronounce the word authentication? Seriously! I don’t know. I have a little bit of an accent going, so I do not always pronounce things the right way. For example, when I say multi-threaded it kindoff comes out sounding like the infamous “Multipas” from the Fifth Element most of the time 
Saying “thirty three” kills me every single time. You sneaky English people with your soft r’s and your “th” sounds. I get it wrong 90% of the time
So I usually do not make fun of people mispronouncing words (unless they happen to be the president of the united states - you have no excuse then), especially when they speak with an accent. But most people I work with are native English speakers - and yet they can never pronounce authentication.
Even if I say it first:
Me: “Now check Outgoing server requires authentication”
Luser: “server requires au… au.. authentification… ok, checked”
Really! It’s pronounced au-then-ti-ca-tion! Much easier than 33 in my opinion! I mean it’s not like I’m making you say for example: “w szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie” or “konstantynopolitańczykowianeczka”.
