5. After the QR code is accepted by the app, Microsoft will send a test authentication request. Click Accept on the app notification to complete the test and setup.
6. Now you've set up the Authenticator app. It is strongly recommended that you add an additional MFA method.
How to use the Authenticator app
Your password and MFA work together. Whenever you enter your password in a website, service or program, you will need to confirm your login via the authenticator app.
On the login page, you will see a two-digit number. You will be asked to input the number in your Microsoft Authenticator app.
If you cannot receive notifications, for example you don't have internet connection on your phone, you can still approve your log-in.
Enter the 6-digit verification code displayed in the Authenticator app. This code changes every 30 seconds, so be sure to enter the code whilst it is still displayed in the app.
