​Manually add an account to the app

If your camera is unable to capture the QR code, you can manually add your account information to the Microsoft Authenticator app for two-factor verification. This works for work or school accounts and non-Microsoft accounts.

The codes provided for your accounts aren't case-sensitive and don't require spaces when added into the Microsoft Authenticator app.
Important

Before you can add your account, you must download and install the Microsoft Authenticator app. If you haven't done that yet, follow the steps in the Download and install the app article.
Add your work or school account
1. On your computer, note the Code and Url information on the Configure mobile app page. Keep this page open so you can see the code and URL.

2. Open the Microsoft Authenticator app, select Add account from the Customize and control icon in the upper-right, and then select Work or school account.

3. Select OR ENTER CODE MANUALLY.

4. Enter the Code and URL from Step 1, and then select Finish.

The Accounts screen of the app shows you your account name and a six-digit verification code. For additional security, the verification code changes every 30 seconds preventing someone from using a code multiple times.
