- If using the Microsoft Authenticator App, two numerical digits are generated for the login session and will be visible on your computer screen.
These same two digits will need to be manually entered into the smartphone app before being able to approve the login request. This new method prevents approvals by accident or due to fatigue and enhances the security of your account.
Please note that this number matching MFA only works with the Microsoft Authenticator app. Currently, you cannot use any other authenticator app such as Google Authenticator for number matching.
- If using your mobile phone number for text, you will receive a text message with a verification code to provide on this screen on your computer..
- You must verify your MFA settings twice a year. When your settings are due for verification, you will receive this screen. If no changes are needed, select the Ok button. Select the Edit info button to make any changes.
