Set up your Microsoft 365 sign-in for multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) (also called 2-step verification) is now required for accessing Microsoft 365 apps such as Outlook, OneDrive and the Staff Hub on SharePoint when away from the school campus.

By setting up MFA, you add an extra layer of security to your Microsoft 365 account sign-in. For example, you first specify your password and, when prompted, you also type a verification code sent to your phone.

1. Sign in to Microsoft 365 with your work or school account with your password like you normally do. After you choose Sign in, you'll be prompted for more information.
   
2. Choose Next.
   
3. Select your verification method and then follow the prompts on the page. You can also watch the video to learn more.
   
   
   
   
4. After you test your additional verification method, choose Next.
   
5. Once you complete the instructions to specify your additional verification method, the next time you sign in to Microsoft 365, you'll be prompted to provide the additional verification information or action, such as typing the verification code that is sent to you by text message.
   
6. To have a new code sent to you, refresh your browser tab.
   

If you travel a lot, consider setting up the Microsoft Authenticator app for your additional verification method. It's the easiest to use and avoids text or call charges
