How to set up Multifactor Authentication (MFA) on your Phone

***NOTE - These installation instructions are for phone only. If you have already completed the MFA registration process on laptop and phone only, you DO NOT need to complete the steps below.***

What is MFA?

Setting up Multifactor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security to your Microsoft 365 account sign-in. For example, you first enter your password, and, when prompted, you also type a dynamically generated verification code provided by an authenticator app or sent to your phone.
