We recommend using the Microsoft Authenticator app as your default sign in method.

If you have not already registered with MFA please use this guide first: How do I register for MFA?

It is recommended that you add at least two options for signing in, such as your mobile number and the Microsoft Authenticator app. 

Do not use an email address as your primary sign in option.

Once registered, it may take 24hrs before you are asked to authenticate when logging in. You should still be able to log in during this time.
