The Multi-Factor Authentication Settings page opens.
-
On the Account tab, select Enable multi-factor authentication for this account.
-
In the authentication app on your phone (for example, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or other):
-
scan the QR code, or
-
enter the alpha-numeric secret code.

-
-
In the Authentication Code box, enter the generated verification code, and then click Save.
