NOTE:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0You will need to install the Microsoft Authenticator app and add it as a security method on your account prior to following the steps below.\u00a0 Follow the instructions through this QR code to learn how to add the Microsoft Authenticator as a security method.\u00a0 You may scan, click, or tap the QR code.\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

After you add the Microsoft Authenticator as a security option and verify it is working, follow the steps below to utilize the One-Time passcode.\u00a0 One-Time passcodes, once setup, can be used in airplane mode and require no signal.<\/p>\n

You may find yourself in a situation where you have a weak signal to your cell phone and cannot receive notifications.\u00a0 For those situations, you can use Microsoft Authenticator’s One-Time Password code feature.<\/p>\n

To do that, when prompted to approve a sign in request, choose “I can’t use my Microsoft Authenticator app right now.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now choose “Use verification code from my mobile app”:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now launch the Microsoft Authenticator app on your mobile device and choose “No, Its not me”:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When prompted to “Report suspicious activity?”, Choose Cancel:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Your phone may flash a Denied message.\u00a0 This is perfectly ok.<\/p>\n

Now tap your account:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Locate the one-time password code:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enter that code into the prompt that is on your browser from earlier and click verify:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You will now be brought to your Inbox.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, the One-Time Code is NOT your password, you must enter it on the enter code screen shown above.\u00a0 If you enter it on the password screen, you will not gain access.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
