Set Up MFA with Your Mobile Device

Estimated reading: 1 minute

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) provides increased security because instead of only using a password, or a code through text, a separate app on your phone is used to verify access. This makes it difficult to hack. When MFA is required, members of the organization can use the Microsoft Authenticator app to securely sign in on their devices.

This video walks you through the whole process of setting up the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone.

Note

When presented with the option to either receive a notification or type in a code, we highly recommend that you choose the first option as it is simpler and more secure to use.
