Activate MFA for your Microsoft account using your web browser

In the Microsoft login window, enter your student email address and click "Next."

In the joint web login window, enter your university ID and password A and then click "Log in".

If you have not previously enabled MFA, you will receive the following message when logging in to Microsoft services: "More information required. Your organisation needs more information to keep your account secure. Click "Next".

If you already have activated MFA but want to add a new login method, you can use your current authentication method to proceed.

If this is your first time enabling MFA for Microsoft services, skip to step 7.

For those who already have another login method will end up on the "Security info" page. Click "Add sign-in method" and select the "Authenticator app" method. Click "Add".

Click the "I want to use a different authenticator app" link.

Click "Next" in the "Set up your account" window (make sure the "authenticator.cc" extension is installed).

You will now come to the "Scan QR code" window.

To scan the QR code, click the Authenticator extension icon in your browser, then click the scan icon [–] in the upper right corner of the window.

Select the QR code with the clipboard tool. After scanning is complete, a pop-up window will appear indicating that your email address has been added. Click "OK" to confirm and then click "Next" in the "Scan QR Code" window.

You will now be prompted to confirm the six-digit code that your Authenticator extension generates.

To generate the code, click on the Authenticator extension. Then click on the code to copy it to the clipboard.

Note that the code is valid for 30 seconds, then it is replaced.

Paste the code in the "Enter code" box. Click "Next" to complete the configuration.
