Initial MFA Information Registration Manual

  1. After enabling MFA, go to https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info on your PC browser. “More information required” notification screen will appear. Select “Next.” When you try to use Microsoft 365 services before registering any MFA information, the same screen will appear. If a similar screen appears on your smartphone, we recommend you to go to the above URL on your PC browser again and proceed. You may be able to finish registering MFA information using your smartphone only, but the procedure is slightly different from this manual.
