More Information:
What is Microsoft Authenticator?
Microsoft Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. No data is collected from your device or shared with anyone and usage consumes no data.
The app generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services and provides an extra level of security.
Why do we need Multi-Factor Authentication?
Login credentials are more valuable than ever and are increasingly easy to compromise. Over 90% of breaches today involve compromised usernames and passwords.
Two-factor authentication enhances the security of your account by using a secondary device to verify your identity. This prevents anyone but you from accessing your account, even if they know your password.
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know! We will be happy to answer any questions you may have on Microsoft Authenticator or two-factor authentication!
