Purpose: This document will walk you through the registration process for your mobile device and how to utilize your time based rotational code to login and access company resources.

What you need to know: Multi-Factor Authentication or MFA works by authenticating you multiple ways to prove that you are the genuine account owner. In our case we are authenticated by providing something that you know (your password) and something that you have (your cellphone) and its code that is rotated every 30 seconds. 

PREREQUISITE: You will need to have the free Microsoft Authenticator app installed on your mobile device prior to performing the steps outlined in this document. The Microsoft Authenticator App is the only authenticator app that we are supporting; however you can use another authenticator of your choosing.
