I'm trying to set up an authenticator app on my device for added security, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Can someone guide me through the process of setting up an authenticator app?
To enhance the security of your Microsoft account, you can add an Authenticator for sign-in verification. This step will ensure that only you can access your account, even if someone else gets your password.

Now, open the Authenticator app on your phone. Locate the plus icon and select it to add a new account. From the options provided, choose "Personal account." Then, tap "Scan a QR Code" to proceed with the setup process.

Once logged in, look for the option to "Add a new way to sign in or verify." This option will allow you to set up a new method for verifying your identity when signing in.
