  2. A frequently-updated code generated by an authenticator application or password manager.

  4. There are three Add... buttons near the top right corner of the MFA page:

    Click the button that corresponds to the type of authenticator that you are using. If you're using a hardware authentication key and are not sure which protocol it uses then check your key's user manual.

  5. If you selected "Security Key" or "FIDO2 Security Key" then insert your key into your computer and follow the onscreen instructions to enable multi-factor authentication.

  6. If you selected "Authenticator App" a scannable code will appear. Follow the instructions in your MFA application to scan the code. Your MFA application should then display a 6-digit number. Enter the 6-digit number in the field provided, then click the "Enable" button to enable multi-factor authentication.
