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      You do not have a smart phone or it is outdated/no longer compatible
