Setting up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Set up two methods of authentication, so that if something happens to one of your devices, you will be able to use another to access your account.

If you use the Microsoft Authenticator app method, remember to keep the app installed on your phone once setup has been completed. If you set up the automated phone call method, make sure you can access the phone and have enough phone reception to answer the call.
