Turn on 2-Step Verification (2025) Using an Authenticator App

How to enable 2-Step Verification - PPS - Authenticator.pdf

The recommended method for MFA is using an authentication app (such as Google or Microsoft Authenticator). These apps are portable, easy to set up, and work across multiple platforms. They also allow access without needing a WIFI or cellular connection. This is extremely helpful in buildings with poor WIFI/cellular connectivity. Attached are the directions for setting up 2-Step verification with the Google authenticator app.

For those currently using the Google app or YouTube on your cell phones, you can already configure MFA through Google prompts, but we still recommend using the authenticator app for added convenience and security. Also, Google prompts require WIFI or cellular connectivity.
