Before watching this video, please watch "How to prepare for MFA set up". 

You need to enable MFA before setting up the Authenticator app:

2.  On your computer screen, click here to enable MFA.  Choose Enable MFA in the Microsoft Form and tick the box to Send me an email receipt of my responses.

3. You will receive two emails, one confirming the submission of the Microsoft Form and another confirming MFA is enabled.  Wait for the MFA confirmation email, which can take around 10 minutes to be sent.

4. Go to link.lse.ac.uk/mfasetup to begin setting up the app.  You will be prompted with "More information required", to set up MFA.  Click Next.

5. After clicking Next on "More information required", the default option is to use the Microsoft Authenticator app.  Ensure the app is installed, then click Next. 

6. On your computer you will now see this screen:   

a) Open the app on your mobile device.  If prompted, you must allow the app to send you notifications.

b) In the app, select + or Add account.  Select Work or school account

c) On your computer, click Next in the "Set up your account" page

d) On your computer, you will be shown a QR code,  Scan this with your mobile device to link the app with your LSE account, then click Next.

8. Now you've set up the Authenticator app.  It is strongly recommended that you add an additional MFA method.   

Your password and MFA work together.  Whenever you enter your password in a website, service or program, you will need to confirm your login via the authenticator app. 

A popup on your device will allow you to "Approve" the sign-in.

If you cannot receive notifications, for example you don't have internet connection on your phone, you can still approve your log-in. 

Enter the 6-digit verification code displayed in the Authenticator app.  This code changes every 30 seconds, so be sure to enter the code whilst it is still displayed in the app.  

Now go to the Setting up MFA with text messaging or phone calls page

The AUAS considers safe online working very important. This is why two-step verification has been activated for the Microsoft Cloud. This includes OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Power BI and Microsoft Dynamics.

What is two-step verification?

Two-step verification allows an additional check to be made during login to establish the identity of the user with certainty. Two-step verification can also be encountered, for example, when logging in to your bank and/or DigiD. Want to learn more about what two-step verification is and how it works? Then take a look at this page from Microsoft on two-step verification .

One-time setup for Microsoft 365 apps

To gain access to Microsoft 365 you need to activate the two-step verification once via your mobile phone. When using Microsoft 365 you could, in case of suspicious login attempts, be asked to verify your login via your mobile phone. In this way we ensure that only you can access your mail and files stored in the Cloud.
