The following steps will get you setup using the Microsoft Authenticator app for MFA.
Installing Microsoft Authenticator
- You will need both your phone and a computer to do this setup.
- Install the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone. If prompted, allow notifications. If you already have it installed and want to add a new phone skip to the next step.
- Next, visit Microsoft's MFA setup page: https://aka.ms/mfasetup from another computer or device. Sign in with your Evergreen account (e.g. username@evergreen.edu). You may also be asked to sign in to the Evergreen sign-in page.

- These are the series of dialog you will go through to get the QR code you will need.
- Open the Authenticator app. If prompted, allow notifications. Then select "Add Work or School Account" and "Scan QR code." You may need to allow the Microsoft Authenticator app to access your camera. If these options do not show up or you are already using the app for other services, press the plus icon at the top right of the app. With the scan option ready, you can now retrieve the QR code. Click next on your computer.
- Hold your phone up to your computer screen and scan the QR code displayed on your computer. The account will be temporarily added to your Microsoft Authenticator app. Select Next on the computer to make this a permanent method.
