- Once 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) has been turned on in Office 365, you will need to start by going to https://www.office.com in an internet browser of your choice on a non-mobile device. All of the screenshots below are from a computer and not a mobile device.
- After logging into your Office account, it will ask for you for more information to set up the 2-Factor Authentication (2FA). See picture below.
- If you do not want to use the Authenticator app, click on "I want to set up a different method" button. To follow using the Authenticator App, follow the directions listed under Mobile App Setup.
- Once you click on "I want to set up a different method", pick the method to use (for texting use Phone, and for just calling use Office Phone).
- There are two main methods for authentication. The Mobile App is the preferred method for ease of use:
- The Mobile app will send you a prompt to approve the login. Skip to Mobile App Method Setup section.
- The "Authentication Phone" will send you a text with a code or will call you to authenticate. Proceed to the Phone section.
Mobile App Method Setup
-
- Download and install the Microsoft Authenticator App from the App Store for IOS, or Google Play Store for Android, on to your mobile device.
- Choose "Receive notifications for verification" and click "Set up"
-
- A window will pop up that looks like this above. On the Authenticator App choose the + to Add Account
- Choose Work or School Account on the App
- Choose Scan QR code on the App
- Scan the QR code on your computer screen.
- Now click on the Next button on your computer screen.
- You will then be prompted on the App to approve.
- You will then be prompted to put in a name for your App Password. This is very rarely used, so we just recommend putting in your name, or something that is not a password as shown below.
-
- It will then provide you with an App Password. This is rarely used and can be skipped by hitting done.
- Once you click done, the setup is complete, and you will then get an approval request from the app when you log in on an unregistered device going forward or a password change.
- If you have issues working with you email account on your mobile device, please delete your email account and re-add it. We suggest using the Outlook App for your Judson Email instead of the mobile device's default email app.
