The Microsoft Authenticator app in the app store is the preferred app for MFA authentication. It will use your phone’s security to verify you – which adds another layer of security. The Authenticator app can be set to unlock with my Face ID, and you must also authenticate to unlock your phone and activate the app.

Adding your cell phone number will set up both text messaging and calling to your mobile device. Cell phone is the preferred phone setup since you will have that phone with you and can get text/phone calls from the device.
