How to set up two-factor authentication using Microsoft Authenticator

Prerequisite: Enable two-factor authentication in the ‘Account Info & Billing settings’.

The two-factor authentication (2FA) setup process requires you to scan a QR code or enter a setup key in your authenticator app on your mobile phone. The following instructions demonstrate how to set up 2FA and sign in using Microsoft Authenticator.

Download Microsoft Authenticator

Go to the app store on your mobile phone and download the Microsoft Authenticator app.

Set up two-factor authentication

Sign in to Legrand Cloud CRM using your email and password. You should see the following screen.

Click ‘Set up two-factor authentication (2FA)’ to register Legrand Cloud CRM on your Microsoft Authenticator app.

Open Microsoft Authenticator on your mobile phone and scan the QR code on the 2FA screen or enter the setup key in the app.
