Set up work MFA alongside your personal Google Authenticator

One Authenticator app can manage codes for multiple accounts. You do not need a separate phone or app per employer.

Try this first

  1. 1Open your existing Authenticator app (Microsoft or Google) on your phone.
  2. 2Choose "add account" or "+" inside the app.
  3. 3Scan the QR code your work environment shows when setting up MFA.
  4. 4Give the account a clear name like "Work - Microsoft".
  5. 5Save backup or recovery codes somewhere safe (not on the same phone).

When to bring us in

Unsure whether your employer requires Microsoft Authenticator specifically or accepts others? Ask us or your IT contact before setting it up.
