  2. 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.

    Authenticator Error - You have entered too many invalid codes

    Did not appear to work. I turned off 2-step verification in the Security & Password page of my MS account & deleted the Authenticator app on my phone. I turned 2SV back on and reinstalled the phone app. Then tried to sign-in on a device for which I had never
    attempted to use to sign-in.

    I got a the same error message on my first attempt to enter the Authenticator-generated code on the device.

    I do thank you for your quick response. Any other suggestions?

    Best,

    Bill

    Authenticator Error - You have entered too many invalid codes

    Thank you bill24557 for your contribution,

    I suggest you turn off the Two step authenticator, then update your account information on
    https://account.live.com also uninstall the app.

    Once you've done the steps turn on the Two step authenticator again and install the app.

    Kindest Regards,
