What is Aka.ms/MFASetup?

Multifactor authentication is a security enhancement that enables you to give at least two pieces of proof, or factors, to know yourself when logging into an account. It is a process of verifying your identity by using a combination of 2 different factors – (1) Something you know (password) and (2) something you have.

How to Setup Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA Setup) on Microsoft?

There are three authentication choices available for Multifactor Authentication.

  1. SMS Message: You will be sent a text message, including a verification code, when you try a sign-in. Enter the verification code given into the log-in interface.

  2. Mobile Application Push: This choice starts a pop-up notification to the authenticator app on your tablet or smartphone to approve or reject.

  3. Mobile Application OAUTH: The MS authenticator app creates a 6-digit verification code that updates every 30 seconds. This is helpful in situations where you may be in an area with bad cell coverage.
