Staff – How to setup Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Compass
In order for staff to access Compass, MFA is required. The preferred method is using the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone, with your phone number as a secondary/fallback method of MFA.
Important: Please setup a primary and secondary method of MFA, to ensure you don’t lose access to Compass if your Microsoft Authenticator app stops working i.e. You get a new phone.
For setup, you will need a computer and your phone. Follow the relevant steps, taking note of which steps are required on your computer and phone.
