Choose your MFA tool. 

    1. We recommend Microsoft Authenticator if it is available in your region and on your smartphone/device if you have one.  Download (from your smartphone/device) and install it if you don’t already have it.  It makes for the easiest MFA login experience.
    2. Alternative MFA tools are Authy or Google Authenticator, and there may be other options in your region (Please let us know so we can add them to our documentation!).
    3. If you don’t have access to a Smartphone, and SMS service is better in your area than 3G/4G/5G coverage, then you can receive MFA codes via SMS.  Click “I want to set up a different method”.  Note that there is a small cost to the WMDA to use SMS for MFA, so please use this option only if necessary.
