When your company turns two-factor authentication on, administrators are taken to Set up two-factor authentication the next time they sign in. It takes about two minutes and has three steps.
Before you startInstall an authenticator app on your phone — Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, Authy and 1Password all work.
Step 1 — Scan
-
In your authenticator app choose to add an account, then scan the QR code on screen.
Can’t scan? Type the Manual key shown under the code into your app instead.
Click Next.
Step 2 — Verify
-
Type the 6-digit code your app now shows for L8MS BRS and click Verify & enable.
If the code is refused, wait for a fresh one and try again. Back returns to the QR code.
Step 3 — Backup codes
-
BRS shows 8 backup codes. Each one lets you sign in once without your phone.
Copy them somewhere safe — a password manager, or printed and locked away. Not on the same phone as your authenticator app.
Click I’ve saved them – continue. You are signed in.
