■ When using a desktop application

Please download a desktop authentication app from the links below:

If you are using a desktop application, please see here for WinAuth or Step Two installation and MFA registration.

Step 2: Registration

* This guide uses Edge as an example, but the process is almost the same in Chrome and Firefox.

1. Open the following link in the browser where you installed the extension:
   https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info

   Then, enter your SSO-KID and password, and click “Sign in.”
   

3. The next steps depend on the screen displayed.

   • If the screen shows “Let’s keep your account secure”, Click “Next”.
     

   • If the “Security info” screen appears, Click “Add sign-in method”, then choose “Microsoft Authenticator”.
     

4. Click “Set up a different authentication app."
   

5. Click “Next."
   

6. The QR code will be displayed.
   

7. Open the “Authenticator” in the browser where the QR code is displayed, and click the QR code scan icon.
   

8. You will be in scan mode, so drag it to enclose the QR code.
   

9. If the code is recognized, a confirmation message will be displayed. Click “OK”.
   If you see a QR code recognition error, click the “Back” button and then the “Next” button to display a new QR code, and scan it again.
   

10. Click “Next."
    

11. When you open the “Authenticator”, a 6-digit one-time code will appear. Type it into the “Enter Code” field and click “Next”.
