Universal Identity (Universal ID) now protected with software token based Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)

What changed? Upon logging in with your Universal ID, you’ll be asked to download the Microsoft Authenticator and set-up your account with it (mandatory). Once successfully set-up, next time you login with your username/password, an additional security check will be done via the authenticator. You’ll need to provide a secure token that is generated from the authenticator to proceed.

Can I use a different authenticator? Yes. it is possible to use the Google Authenticator. When you need to scan the QR core, do this with the Google Authenticator app. Once that’s set-up, you can also login with the authentication codes that are generated with the Google Authenticator.
