Please consider setting up the Microsoft Authenticator app on your smartphone to complete the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) process, at no extra cost for messages or calls.

The app will allow you to complete the authentication process by approving a notification instead of entering a code via SMS or a phone call. Please follow the instructions to install and setup the app, after downloading the app, the setup will take approximately 5 minutes.
