Mobile Verification Code

When logging in to a service, you'll need to open the app and look at a 6-digit code that is displayed in the app. This option is a good choice when there is no access to cellular data or WIFI, and you need to log into a service (ex: airplanes).

How to use this option when a push notification won't work:

1. Log into the service with your Anumber@aggies.usu.edu and USU password
2. When you are prompted to approve the sign-in request, click the link that says, 'I can't use my Microsoft Authenticator app right now'
   
   
   
3. Click Use a verification code
   
   
   
4. Open the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone
5. Tap to open your USU account
   
   
   
6. A one-time passcode will be provided. Note: This passcode refreshes every 30 seconds
   
   
   
7. Enter this code into your web browser to approve the log in.
   

If you prefer to enter a code instead of a push notification change the default method using the following:

The Mobile verification code is added by default after you add the authenticator app as an option for verification. You'll just need to set it as the "Default sign-in method"

1. Select "Change" under Default sign-in method
   
2. Under Default sign-in method: select "App based authentication or hardware token - code"
