Adding a Sign-In Method to Microsoft Account
For TCCS staff, the Microsoft Authenticator app on their mobile device is their primary method for identity verification when logging into their Microsoft accounts. However, users may choose to add additional verification methods by logging into their Microsoft account.
1. Log into Office.com using your usual claremont.edu credentials.
2. Confirm your identity with the Authenticator push notification.
3. In your account page, click on your account icon in the upper right corner.
4. Click on View account.
5. Select Security info from the options on the left.
6. Click on Add sign-in method.
7. Choose the method you want to add.
NOTE: Not all options shown below may be available.
8. Follow the on-screen instructions to add your desired sign-in method. When you have completed the process, you may log out, or add another method. The instructions for adding phone numbers continue, below.
ADDING A PHONE
Depending on permissions, users can add up to three phone numbers to use for ID verification.
Phone and Alternate Phone allow users to receive an automated phone call or text with a code to enter on the web page when prompted.
9. Choose whether you wish to receive a call or text message (if the phone number is capable of receiving texts).
NOTE: Some carriers' or mobile devices' call blocking features may prevent you from receiving the automated phone calls.
10. Enter your phone number.
11. Next.
12. Enter the code.
13. Click Next.
14. Your phone number has been added. You may add another method or exit the window.
NOTE: Adding an office phone works in the same manner except text messages are not an option and you will need to make sure to include your extension (if any) in the Extension field.
