    There are two of us working within our small business at different home locations. The authenticator only goes to one of us the admin. How can we set separate authentication for two different computers/people?

    :)

  2. GMAIL 2FA Authentication Question

    Thanks for replying. Apologies, but I was reluctant to use the link that you supplied. I do not want to remove text and call. I do not want text or call to be the default options which it is now after I reset my password. I want to add Use Backup Codes to the main options as well as the GOOGLE Authenticator option. And I do not see that now. Only this:

    And when I click on 2 Step Verification it shows this:
    Authentication question 383765d1674148004t-gmail-2fa-authentication-question-2.jpg
    Which is why I am still mulling over the option to remove my phone number and disable 2FA and start over. I'm hoping if I do that and do not enter my phone number first I will get the options back of using the Backup Codes and the Authenticator app and then add my phone number and hopefully this time the phone number will not be the default option. What do you think?

    Authentication question

    2 factor authentication question.

    I did see those options I guess I should have phrased my question differently. Can I require that my Android app Microsoft Authenticator, be used in addition with my logon password every time one logs into the PC? Is that possible in addition to the other
    authentication options u suggested?
