Enrolling in 2FA with Microsoft Authenticator
Step 1
On your mobile device, download the Microsoft
Authenticator app. (Do not log in, as we will scan a QR code to connect your account to the authenticator app in a later step)
Step 2
Once you download the authenticator app, when you log into your Cumberland University account via Canvas, Gmail, or Student First, you will be prompted with a "let’s keep your account secure" screen like the one shown below.
Step 3
Click next,
it should then tell you to do the same thing we had you do in step one: “Install
Microsoft Authenticator” Click
Next until you come across a QR Code.
you should then be met with a screen which shows a QR code
such as the examples below.
Please note during this step:
After scanning the QR code, the authenticator app may take a few moments to register it. During this time, it might still allow you to scan the code again however, you only need to scan it once.
Step 4
On your Microsoft authenticator app, do not log in, instead
look for an option that says “Scan QR Code” (This is how we will add your Cumberland University account)
Step 5
Once
you scan the QR code, hit next.
In
order to authenticate your login to the desired platform, you will need
to type in the number shown on the screen into the Microsoft
Authenticator app on you mobile device.
Step 6
Once you have entered the
number from your screen into your mobile device you have successfully
set up Microsoft Authenticator for your Cumberland University accounts.
The
next time you sign into a new device, you will receive another code
that will need to be entered into the Microsoft Authenticator
application.
Please note:
On your phone, it will always prompt a number
to be entered, you do not have to click on your
account for a 6 digit code.
