1. On your smart phone, open the app store and download the free Microsoft Authenticator app.

 

2. On your computer, navigate to: https://aka.ms/MFASetup

 

3. When prompted, log in with your sdfoundation.org account

 

4. Click Next on the More information required notification

 

5. From the drop-downs select Mobile App and Receive notifications for verification then click Set Up.

 

6. A window will pop-up with a QR Code.

 

7. On your smartphone, open the Microsoft Authenticator app and press the + icon to add a new account.

 

8. Select Work or School Account

 

9. Scan the QR Code generated in step 6 with your smartphone camera.  (If you are prompted to allow access to your camera, answer yes.)

 

10. Your account will be added to the Microsoft Authenticator app.

 

 

11. On your computer, click the Next button on screen with the QR Code.

 

12. On your phone, tap Approve on the notification message in the Microsoft Authenticator app.

 

13. Optionally, add your cell phone number to receive texts as an alternate verification method.

 

14. It is recommended you save the app password generated in Step 4 in your 1Password account in case it is needed in the future.  The app password is not required for TSDF's implementation of Outlook or Office, but can be required by certain third-party mail apps which do not support multi-factor authentication.  Click Done to proceed.

 

15. Multi-factor authentication is now enabled on your account!  For information on daily use, see the article on How to use multi-factor authentication in Office 365.
