Here are several options to choose as your second factor: 

• The Microsoft Authenticator smart phone app is the recommended method because of its ease of use and enhanced security. The app can be configured to use either a push notification (most convenient) or a verification code (most secure). The Microsoft Authenticator app includes additional benefits that you can leverage to protect your personal account.
