Click "Add sign-in Method" to add a new authentication. (You can also view and remove authentication methods you previously set up)

There are multiple methods you can use for authentication.

We recommend setting up the following:

• Authenticator App
  • If you don't want to use Microsoft's Authenticator App you can choose "I want to use a different authenticator app" WARNING! if you use the same authenticator for your YSD account for both Microsoft AND Google MFA it may cause issues when trying to enter the code.

  • 

  • From here it will guide you through setting up Authentication. This usually requires scanning a QR code from the app on a cell phone.
• Phone
  • Enter a phone number and select to receive a code via Text or Call

  • 

• Email
  • Enter a NON YSD email address to receive an authentication code. Trying to use a YSD email will give the following error.

  • 

Once saved you will see the new authentication method appear in the list.

Go to https://myaccount.google.com/security (sign in if required to proceed.)

Under "How you sign in to Google" click on "2-Step Verification"

 Follow the prompts to set up the Authentication method you would like to use.
