Knowing how to change your default authentication method is important!
Information Technology strongly recommends that you set your default authentication method to use the Microsoft Authenticator (MFA) app so that you receive push notifications to your mobile device.
Using the MFA app offers a higher level of secure identity assurance than SMS or voice calls.
