    Authenticator code


    How can I find my Authenticator code or turn it off? I think I turned on two-step verification in 2016 but have never used. I purchased a new laptop and as part of the set up, this code is required. Help.

    :)

  3. where can I get the bar code for microsoft authenticator?

    Go to
    https://account.microsoft.com/


    At the top choose Security and Privacy

    Under Account Security choose More Security Settings

    Scroll down for the following

    Your account is protected by two-step verification.


    You've set up an authenticator app.
    Learn more about identity verification apps.


    Before you can set up an identity verification app, you need to add another phone number or alternate email address, or verify an existing one.


    Choose Set Up identity verification app which will give you the barcode/secret code you need to get your authenticator app going.

    Be sure to verify the pairing was successful by entering the code generated on the newly setup app.

    Hope that helps.

  4. Authenticator code

    authenticator for android

    Pair an authenticator app with your Microsoft account
    We won't use this to spam you - just to keep your account more secure.

    Verify phone via:

    An authenticator app works by generating a new security code every 30 seconds. Once you have an authenticator app installed on your smart phone and paired with your account, you can always get a code - even if you have airplane mode turned on, or are anywhere
    without cell service. Authenticator apps are available for many smart phones today, and most of them will work with your Microsoft account.

    Just a few simple steps, and you'll be all set

    • If you have a Windows Phone,
      get Microsoft's authenticator app
      . If you have an iOS, Android, or BlackBerry device, search your app store for an authenticator app.
    • Install the app and then open it.
    • Pair the app with your Microsoft account by scanning this bar code.
