How To Configure The Microsoft Authenticator App

To set up two-step verification for Office 365 using the Microsoft Authenticator app, you first need to download the app for Android, iOS, or Windows Phone. Then open it on your phone and computer and scan a QR code or enter a 9-digit code from your computer into the app. This will add your account. You'll then get a push notification on your phone anytime you need to approve a new sign in, which provides a simple one-click authentication method instead of typing codes. Be sure to enable two-step verification by requesting it from your organization's OICT Unite Mail Fulfillment Support first before beginning the authentication app setup.
