For ease of use and security - we recommend using the Microsoft Authenticator app (instead of getting text messages with a code when you are logging in). Unfortunately - Microsoft makes the text based option default - so if you already set that up and would want to change - here's how.
- Go to https://aka.ms/mfasetup.
- Click Add sign in method.
- Choose Authenticator app and click Add
- Follow the prompts on the screen which include:
- Download the free Microsoft Authenticator app (from the Google Play or Apple App stores)
- Once the app is downloaded - click the menu icon at the top right and choose "Add account"
- Choose Work or School as the account type
- Choose "Scan a QR code" for the setup method
- Scan the code on your screen - then click next.
- When done - and back on the "Security info" screen, look for the "Default Sign-in method" land set it to "Microsoft Authenticator".
- Click Save when done.
