Set up the Microsoft Authenticator App


Overview:

This process helps employees and students set up the Microsoft Authenticator app as a secure sign-in method for their Rowan-Cabarrus accounts. Sign in to your Microsoft profile, open the Security Info section, add the Authenticator app as a sign-in method, install the app on your phone if needed, and connect it to your account by scanning the QR code shown on your computer. Once setup is complete, Microsoft Authenticator will help verify your identity when you sign in and add an extra layer of protection for your account.
