How to Set Up Multifactor Authentication

In order to enroll your account for Multifactor Authentication, you will need to set up one or more of the following methods. We strongly recommend setting up at least two methods.

We encourage anyone with a smartphone to protect their Taylor Account with Microsoft Authenticator and one other method. It provides the best protection for your account and during login will show what Taylor application is requesting your login.

* Please note that the option to use a phone call as a multi-factor authorization method will be going away.  You will need to setup MFA using an Authenticator application or a security key.
