The Configure mobile app page appears.

Note: If you receive a prompt asking whether to allow the app to access your camera (iOS) or to allow the app to take pictures and record video (Android). select Allow so the authenticator app can access your camera to take a picture of the QR code in the next step.
Use your device's camera to scan the QR code from the Configure mobile app screen on your computer, and then choose Next.
Return to your computer and the Additional security verification page, make sure you get the message that says your configuration was successful, and then select Next. The authenticator app will send a notification to your mobile device as a test.

On your computer, add your mobile device phone number to the Step 3: In case you lose access to the mobile app area, and then select Next. Microsoft recommends adding your mobile device phone number to act as a backup if you're unable to access or use the mobile app for any reason.
From the Step 4: Keep using your existing applications area, copy the provided app password and paste it somewhere safe.
Note: For information about how to use the app password with your older apps, see Manage app passwords. You only need to use app passwords if you're continuing to use older apps that don't support two-factor verification.
