After setting up MFA on M365, you will need to verify your identity when you sign in to Microsoft 365 portal. Using the Microsoft Authenticator app on your mobile device as a security token is the most convenient way to complete verification. You can also choose to receive a text message or phone call on your mobile phone to verify your identity. Below is a guide using the Microsoft Authenticator app as an example.

Note: The use of number matching in the Microsoft Authenticator app will be effective from 27 Feb 2023.
