5. In the new window, enter the code you received in text message and click Next to finish the authentication process.

6. After you entering the code you will receive a notification of successful phone registration. Click Done.

7. The SMS-code setup successful. You can use it for secondary authentication.

8. After activating multifactor authentication, you must enter the 6-digit SMS code sent to the registered phone number when you want to access M365 services (e.g. Outlook mail) from outside the university.
For that click on the Text +XX XXXXXXX link. It contains the last two digit of the registered phone number.

9. Enter the 6-digi code in the next window and click Verify.

Once activated multifactor authentication you will need to log in again to applications installed on the smart devices (e.g. Teams, Outlook).

If you leave checked the Don't ask again for 90 days checkbox, applications will ask to do secondary authentication only every 90 days.
