It requires you to verify your sign-in using something you know (your password) and something you have, such as:
- a notification or code from the Microsoft Authenticator app
- a text message or phone call to your mobile
- a code sent to your personal email address.
If you don’t have a suitable device to set MFA up with, please speak to your manager.
