Having the Authenticator App allows users to log in to their accounts even when they are unable to receive SMS text messages, or if their verification number for 2FA is not usable.

To initially set up the Authenticator App, you will need a phone number that can receive SMS text messages, and you will need to know your @masters.edu email address and password.

Step 1: Install the "Microsoft Authenticator App" for your mobile device.
