Note: Microsoft is ending support for text and voice call authentication options on February 1, 2027. The Microsoft Authenticator app will be the default authentication method. If you currently use text or voice call as your primary or backup authentication method, you'll be required to
switch to the app.
Description
Our campus uses multi-factor authentication on Microsoft 365 accounts for extra security. The Microsoft Authenticator mobile app allows you to quickly authenticate your sign-ins using your mobile device. It works using a passkey to verify your identity, so nobody else can access your account. Microsoft Authenticator is secure and private, and even allows a passwordless sign-in option so you don't have to enter your password every time.
How to Access
Download the Microsoft Authenticator app on the App Store or Google Play. Follow the instructions below to set it up.
