How do I switch to using the Authenticator app instead of receiving a phone call?

Overview

You can adjust your MFA settings at any time from within your MSU Denver Office 365 account, including what method(s) you use as your second authentication factor. If you have multiple authenticators, you can also select which one you are normally prompted for when logging in.
