      Things you might be able to troubleshoot yourself:

      Problem​

       

      Try this:​

      When you added your account to the authenticator app, you didn’t choose the Work/School option during setup​

       

      Add the account again and choose the Work/School option​

      You added your personal e-mail account to the authenticator app instead of your college e-mail​

       

      Go back into app and add the college e-mail address instead​

      You already had the authenticator app installed on your phone before starting the MFA set up​

       

      Uninstall the app, then re-install and start the MFA set up process again​

      You had the authenticator app on your phone and successfully set up MFA, but then uninstalled it​

       

      Uninstall the app, then re-install and start the MFA set up process again​

      You have a Virtual Private Network (VPN) installed and active on your phone​

       

      Switch off/disconnect the VPN while setting up or using MFA (or uninstall the VPN)​

      These issues need intervention from IT Services (see contacts above):

      Problem​

      The authenticator app keeps prompting you to enter a number that you can’t enter​

      You have a new phone (IT need to delete the old device)​

      You are receiving a notification telling you that you are blocked​

      You do not have a smart phone or it is outdated/no longer compatible​
