Below you will find screenshots showing a typical setup of Microsoft Authenticator on a phone.
The number generated for verification (in this example, 51) is random.
TIPS:
- No matter how you start the process (QR code or “pair your account to the app by clicking this link”), just make sure you continue to finish the additional steps (screenshot 3, 4 and 5). These steps are essential to activate the process as they establish the trust between your device and the Microsoft Authenticator app.
- If your phone is too old, keep in mind you can use another device (tablet, parental phone…) as two factor authentication is only required outside school.
- If you have previously registered an old phone number/authenticator but have changed phone or deleted authenticator, then come to IT (M26) to reset your account.
