You’ll see a confirmation that MFA is now enabled for your account. Click “Done” to complete the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nImportant Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Authenticator App vs. Phone Verification: While both methods enhance security, using the Microsoft Authenticator app is recommended for a more secure and seamless experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Future Sign-Ins: After setting up MFA, you’ll be prompted to verify your identity using your chosen method when accessing your account from new devices or locations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What about my old email?:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Email:<\/strong> We will be adopting Outlook.com for email communications. To ensure you continue receiving messages sent to your personal Gmail accounts, we recommend setting up automatic forwarding from Gmail to your new Microsoft 365 email address. This will consolidate your emails into one inbox, eliminating the need to check multiple accounts. Your old email account will not be deleted or going away, but it\u2019s best to view it as an account you can log into for viewing historical email, not checking two places at once. To that end:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
