Answer 1

Hi,

To add your account to Microsoft Authenticator and approve requests, follow these steps:

Download and Install the App: If you haven't already, download and install the Microsoft Authenticator app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).

Add Your Account:

• Open the Microsoft Authenticator app.
• Tap the + icon to add a new account.
• Select Work or school account or Personal account based on your needs.

Generate a QR Code:

• On your computer, go to the Microsoft account security page and sign in.
• Under Advanced security options, select Add a new way to sign in or verify.
• Choose Use an app and follow the prompts to generate a QR code. Scan the QR Code:
• In the Authenticator app, select Scan a QR code.
• Use your phone's camera to scan the QR code displayed on your computer screen.

Approve the Request:

• After scanning the QR code, your account will be added to the Authenticator app.
• When you sign in to your account, you will receive a notification in the Authenticator app to approve the sign-in request. Simply open the app and tap Approve[1][2].

If you encounter any issues, make sure your device's camera has permission to scan QR codes, or you can manually enter the code provided on the setup page[3].

Feel free to ask if you need further assistance! 😊
