This article will guide you on configuring your Multi-Factor Authentication, setting it up on your devices, managing it and setting up a second method of authentication. 

1. What is Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a new and more secure way to log in to your University accounts. This prevents fraudsters from accessing, altering, or destroying your personal and sensitive information. 

It provides an extra level of protection. When signing in, it asks you to confirm your identity with a password and a phone / tablet. Only successfully presenting two pieces of evidence you can have access to your account.

It is likely that you already use some form of multi-factor authentication if you use online banking.  

Availability

Adding a phone number for use in MFA process does not make it available as part of your contact information. MFA phone numbers are stored as protected attributes and are not visible to others.

Data usage

You will see minimal data usage when downloading the Authenticator app. There will be no to minimal impact on your daily phone data usage. If you’re worried about data usage, you can select the SMS or phone line option to authenticate your account.

2. Why do I need Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

You need MFA to add an extra layer of protection to your university account.

MFA helps to defend your account against fraudsters from: 

• Accessing

• Altering

• Destroying your personal data or sensitive information

How often you will be asked to authenticate 

As long as you have a University IT account, MFA is needed to keep your account secure.

You will receive a sign in approval request each time you attempt to log in. You can avoid this approval for 30 days by checking the “Do not ask again for 30 days” box.

Please do not remove any of your authentication methods and review them regularly to ensure they are up to date.

3. How Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) works 

Verification steps

Since MFA is a mandatory part of the account setup process, Microsoft will ask you to verify your credentials. You can do it doing one of the following actions:

• Entering the numbers displayed on the screen of your device into the Authenticator App. Also, checking that the application and location details are correct. Please go to 'Approving the MFA request in the Microsoft Authenticator app'; to understand more.
• Entering a code:
  • Generated by the Microsoft Authenticator app
  • Generated by a hardware token
  • Sent to your mobile in an SMS message
• Pressing the # key on your telephone when using an automated phone call

After that, you will have completed your verification steps. You will have access to your app as usual. You can check to remember your login on your device for 30 days. We recommend doing this only if you trust the device and you are sure you will be using it again. Sometimes you will need to complete a new verification step when signing in.

We recommend using the Microsoft Authenticator app as your primary MFA solution.

Approving the MFA request in the Microsoft Authenticator app

Microsoft has developed three security features for the Microsoft Authenticator app and the University will be installing these features as the app is used as one of the authentication methods. 

To understand why Microsoft has developed these features, how this will help protect the University and who this will impact, please visit the SharePoint page “Microsoft Authenticator app security features”.

From Thursday 23 February 2023, when approving an MFA request on the Microsoft Authenticator app, you will have to:

• Enter the numbers displayed on the screen of the device you are trying to sign into (for example, your laptop or desktop). This is also known as “number matching”.
• Check that both the application and location details are correct. 

How to approve the MFA request

1. When you receive an MFA request, the usual sign-in request box will appear on your screen. You will notice a number alongside the request asking you to enter the number on your Authenticator app.

2. Open the Authenticator app on your mobile device

3. A notification will appear with this information:

1. "App" – followed by the application you are trying to sign into
2. "Location" – followed by your sign-in location based on the IP address of the device you are trying to sign into. Please note the location will depend on the internet service provider that you use (for example Sky, BT, Virgin etc), this means that the location could be from a different place in the UK (for example London, Bristol). If you are using the Microsoft Authenticator app in a different country or receive a notification displaying a different country, please go to ‘Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on MFA’.
3. "Enter number here" box - A box where you will need to enter the number you received in the MFA request

4. Review the application and location details ensuring the notification is displaying the correct information.  

5. Enter the number you received in the sign-in request, select YES.

If you have received an unexpected MFA request or the details displayed on the notification are incorrect, please select “NO IT’S NOT ME”. Please go to ‘What to do if you receive an unexpected MFA notification' to understand more.

When will you have to use MFA

You will be asked to use MFA whenever you: 

• Access any Office 365 program (such as Outlook or Teams)
• Switch to a different browser (for example: Chrome, Firefox, Safari) to access your account
• Use a different computer 
• Turn on private browsing  
• Delete cookies after closing your browser (that is because the browser uses cookies to remember who you are)
• Do not allow cookies to be saved, or cookies are not enabled. If you need guidance on changing your cookies settings, read the article "Disable or enable cookies in your browser"

What to do if you receive an unexpected MFA notification

Please decline any unexpected MFA notification.

If you are using the Microsoft Authenticator app, please press the report button which will notify iSolutions. This action will not lock out your account and will help iSolutions find more information about the sign in attempt.

How to recover your credentials

To back up or recover your account credentials (using Android or iOS), read the article "Back up and recover account credentials in the Authenticator app".

4. Setting up MFA on your device

It can take up to approximately 10 minutes to set up MFA. You only need to set up MFA once but you may have to verify your identity from time to time.

You can set up MFA by using the free Microsoft Authenticator app on your mobile phone (recommended), or by receiving an SMS text message or phone call through a landline or mobile phone. 

It's not possible to use Softphones to set up MFA.

Please note: To use Microsoft Authenticator app, you will need a mobile device that uses an up-to-date operating system. To check whether your mobile device supports the Microsoft Authenticator app, please visit the following webpages:

• Apple iOS – Microsoft Authenticator App (Within the “Information” section)
• Android – Microsoft Authenticator App (Within the “About this app” section)

 

Setting up process

Step-by-step instructions:

1. From your desktop or laptop, go to My Sign-Ins  
2. Log in with your University email account
3. A dialogue window will prompt you with ‘More information required’ to keep your account secure
4. Choose an option:
   
   1. Click ‘Next’ to begin MFA registration
      or
   2. ‘Click Skip for now’ to skip MFA registration. You can skip MFA registration for no more than 14 days. After 14 days, you are required to register your account for MFA.
5. Now you can confirm your identity using one of the authentication methods listed here below. 

Using the Microsoft Authenticator app

These instructions work both for Android and iOs devices. 

1. Download the app on your mobile device for iOS or Android

2. Now look at the screen of your computer - you should see a new window asking to start the process getting the app. Select 'Next'

3. If prompted, select ‘Allow Notifications’. Make sure to select 'Work or school' from the list of account types.

4. When prompted within the app:

1. scan the QR code on your screen using Microsoft Authenticator App. Once the QR code is within your camera’s frame, your Authenticator app will recognize the code
   
   
   Please do not use the QR code below, use the one generated during the set-up process.
   
   
2. From your mobile, select the "+" button
3. Select 'Work or school account'
4. Allow "Authenticator" to access the camera
5. Using the Authenticator app, scan the QR Code on your computer. If you are using an iOS device and it does not allow you to scan the QR code, please change the privacy settings of you camera following the instructions in the section "I cannot scan the QR code using my iPhone / iPad"
6. Go back to your computer and click 'Next'

5. You will then receive an approval notification on your mobile device

6. Select ‘Approve’ to confirm the setup. Please note, from Thursday 23 February 2023, the way you approve an authentication request will change. Please go to ‘Approving the MFA request in the Microsoft Authenticator app’ to understand more.

7. Once you approved the notification, click 'Next' in the computer browser

If you want to configure additional MFA methods (recommended) click the link ‘I want to set up a different method’ and follow the instructions in the section "Using SMS or a phone call".

8. You will receive a success message once you have finished the setup

9. Click 'Done' to complete the process

Microsoft Authenticator uses 'Push Notification' as default verification. After you complete MFA registration, you can change it to following the instructions in the page Office 365: Change the Authenticator Verification method.

 

Using SMS or a phone call

1. Select the option 'I want to set up a different method'

2. Select 'Phone' as the different method and click on 'Confirm'

3. Choose your country and enter your phone number, then select how you wish the verification to happen. This can be either an SMS message or a Phone Call (you will find the options 'Text me a code' or 'Call me'). For the example here below, we are using the SMS option.

4. You will then be asked to verify your method:

Using a text message (SMS) 

You will receive a text message with a (random) 6-digit code on your mobile.

In your browser window, enter the code into the 'Enter code' field and click 'Next'. 

  
Your phone is now registered as a method of authentication

Select 'Next' to end the process.
  
For Phone 

You will receive a call, asking you to select a Key on the phone to verify your signing.

1. Answer the phone call on your mobile phone

2. The recorded voice message will instruct you to press the # symbol on your phone's touchpad

3. After pressing the pound sign, your mobile number is successfully registered

4. Click 'Next'

Please remember that SMS or phone notifications are great as fail-back second factors. 

 

Using a token

If you do not wish to use any of the above methods, you can request a free MFA physical token (similar to a key fob) from Stores by completing the "Computer Peripheral Purchasing" form. No authorisation is needed.

Tokens are only available for current members of staff and Postgraduate Research Students (PGRs). 

How it works after receiving your token:

1. When you log into anything that requires MFA, you will be prompted for:

1.  Your university email address
2.  Your password
3. A numerical code generated by your token

2. Turn on you token by pushing the button in it

3. The token will display the code you need. The code will be active for 60 seconds, then a new code will appear

4. Enter the code into the MFA window and select the Verify button 

 

Using Evolution email

Evolution users will need to use the Evolution-EWS client to access their Office 365 email. 

iSolutions have registered Evolution-EWS as a Microsoft Azure Active Directory app registration. 

Application ID: 51e20fb2-de82-43a4-932d-cb56b81262ac

• Tennant ID: 4a5378f9-29f4-4d3e-be89-669d03ada9d8 
• Configuring Evolution-EWS to connect to Exchange Online 

When adding your university account to Evolution-EWS: 

1. Enter your name and email address, uncheck Lookup mail server details and click 'Next'
2. For Server Type, select 'Exchange Web Services'
3. For Username, specify your email address
4. Change Host URL to https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx 
5. Click the Fetch URL button, providing your EID password when prompted. This will result in the OAB URL field being populated, which is the address from which the client can download a copy of the Offline Address Book.
6. Change Authentication to OAuth2 (Office365)
7. Make sure that Override Office365 OAuth2 settings are checked and populate the Tenant ID and Application ID fields as above
8. Finish the New Mail Account Wizard, and you will then be taken to the Microsoft 365 login screen asking you to enter your password and additional MFA verification.

 

Using Thunderbird

Setting up a new account 

When you add your university account in Thunderbird, you will need to click on the Advanced config link after it auto-detects the server settings. 

You will then need to set Thunderbird to use OAuth2 for both the IMAP and SMTP server configurations. 

    
Once you hit 'Done', you should see the Microsoft 365 login screen pop-up asking you to enter your password and additional MFA verification. After that, it will appear a screen asking for some permissions on your Office 365 account. 

How to reconfigure an existing account 

For IMAP, click on: 

• Incoming protocol: IMAP
• Server hostname: outlook.office365.com
• Port: 993
• SSL: SSL/TLS
• Authentication: OAuth2

For SMTP, please follow: 

• Outgoing protocol: SMTP
• Server hostname: smtp.office.com
• Port: 587
• SSL: STARTTLS
• Authentication: OAuth2

If OAuth2 does not appear, you may need to restart Thunderbird and go back into the account settings.

 

Using an app password  

This approach is no longer fully supported by iSolutions. We recommend you choose an application that natively supports Multi-Function Authentication (for example the Evolution Linux-based mail client rather than Thunderbird). 

If you use an app password, you will be required to provide MFA on campus and will not be able to take full advantage of the current University’s security policies. 

 

What to do if you have no signal or Wi-Fi connection

For the best experience use the Microsoft Authenticator App - this offers advanced functionality including one-touch authentication approval via notifications. An additional benefit of using the App is, if you do not have a signal or wi-fi connection on your phone, the App will generate a one-time passcode which you can use instead of receiving an app notification or SMS.

Instructions:

1. When approving your sign-in request, click on the sentence "I can’t use my Microsoft Authenticator app right now

2. Select the option “Use a verification code”

 

3. Now open your Authenticator app

4. Tap on the 'University of Southampton' button

5. You will see a one-time password. Password will change every 20 seconds

6. Enter the code (displayed into the Authenticator app) into the sign in window

 

Check your set-up

To check that MFA has been set up on your account or if you need to change settings go to the page My sign-ins / Security info.

You should see the authentication options you chose during set-up. If you do not, repeat the setup process.

5. Setting up a second method of authentication

We strongly recommend that you set up a second method of authentication on your University IT account.

This means that if one method fails, you have another way to authenticate and you will not be locked out of your account. For example, if you lose or upgrade your device, you can still authenticate your log-in and access University IT services.

To set up a second authentication method, you need to:

1. Login into 'MySign-Ins'  using your password
2. Choose 'Security info'
3. Select 'Add Method'

We recommend that the Microsoft Authenticator app is your primary method. As a second method, choose from either:

• Receiving an SMS text message on your smartphone
• Receiving a phone call through a landline or mobile phone. If you are a staff or a Postgraduate Research Student (PGR), it’s not possible to authenticate using your University-provided telephone number. 

If you are an international student and use a different mobile phone when you return home, please make sure you add this to your account before you leave the UK. This means you will still be able to sign in if you cannot access your UK mobile phone.

 

How to change your default sign-in method

1. Click on 'Change' 

 
2. Select your favourite method

 
3. Click on ‘Confirm’

 

Change the phone number previously added as a second method of authentication

1. Click on 'Change' 

 
2. Enter the phone number you want to use

 
3. Click on 'Next': you will receive a code via SMS or a phone call to verify your identity

4. Enter your code or follow the instructions

5. Once verify your identity, a confirmation banner will appear on your page. Click on 'Done' to close the banner. 

 

Delete one of the existing sign-in methods

1. Click on the 'Delete' button

2. A confirmation banner will appear. Click on 'OK' to delete this method

 

How to update your sign-in methods when unable to authenticate

You might need to reset the device chosen to confirm your identity through Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). You can self-reset it by using Subscribe. To do that, you need first to request a Temporary Access Pass (TAP).

To request a TAP and find guidance on self-resetting your secondary method of authentication, please read the article "How to manage your university and computing account using Subscribe".

Please note: you can request your TAP only if you have added and verified a secondary contact email to your account at least 14 days before making this request.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on MFA

Can I authenticate through my smartwatch?

Yes, however setup for smartwatches is not supported by ServiceLine. If you would like to set this up yourself, please see supplier documentation for Apple, Android and Garmin watches.

Please note, from Thursday 23 February, the way you approve an authentication request will change and you will no longer be able to approve the notifications through your smartwatch due to Microsoft discontinuing the functionality. 

Please go to ‘Approving the MFA request in the Microsoft Authenticator app’ to understand more. 

 

Questions related to the new "Location" information provided by Microsoft Authenticator 

Please note, the FAQs listed under this section will only come into effect from Thursday 23 February 2023.

The app isn’t displaying my exact location in the UK, is there anything I need to do?

You don’t need to do anything. The sign-in location details are based on the IP address of the device you are trying to sign into which will depend on your internet service provider (for example Sky, BT, Virgin etc). This means that the location could be from a different place in the UK (for example London, Bristol).

If you are based in the UK and the sign-in location details display a different country, please do not sign in and select “NO IT’S NOT ME” on the app. This will then notify iSolutions where they can find out more information about the sign in attempt.

I am currently working or studying in a different country, will my location change?

Yes, the location will change as it is based on the IP address of the device you are trying to sign into which will depend on the internet service provider in that country. The location could be from a different place in that country.

If the sign-in location details display a country to you are not in, please do not sign in and select “NO IT’S NOT ME” on the app. This will then notify iSolutions where they can find out more information about the sign in attempt.

If I connect to the University VPN (GlobalProtect), will this change my location details?

Yes, if you are connected to the University VPN when receiving an MFA request, your sign-in location will always report as being situated in Southampton, UK. 

I use an alternative method to approve MFA requests, will I be impacted by the changes?

If you use one of the following methods to authenticate, you will not be impacted by the changes to the Microsoft Authenticator app:

• Receiving a SMS (text message) or voice verification (phone call)
• Using a hardware token
• Using an authenticator app which generates a verification code

I use the Microsoft Authenticator app to generate a verification code, will I be impacted by the new features?

If you are only using the app to generate a verification code, you will not be impacted by the new features as this only affects “push notifications”.

Microsoft Authenticator app does not open the sign-in request in a new window 

It might happen that your mobile device does not open the sign-in screen in a new window, not allowing you to see the matching number. This can happen when you are trying to sign in and use Microsoft Authenticator on the same device.

You can bypass this issue by selecting the link "I can’t see the number" at the bottom of the screen: 

 
You will be able to see the matching number again for a few seconds. After that, you can enter your matching number and select Yes.

 

Change notification settings

When you request to receive your MFA code using the SMS option, it might happen that the notification pops up on your locked phone screen, previewing your secret code. This depends on your device settings.

You can avoid this by changing the notification settings on your device: for example, you can disable all notifications, or hide sensitive content from notifications on your locked screen.

Find guidance about changing notification settings on Android, iPhone, and iPad:

• Control notifications on Android - Android Help (source: google.com)
• Change notification settings on iPhone (source: Apple Support UK)
• Change notification settings on iPad (source: Apple Support UK) 

Please note, from Thursday 23 February 2023, the way you approve an authentication request will change and therefore you will no longer be able to approve notifications through your locked phone screen. Please go to ‘Approving the MFA request in the Microsoft Authenticator app’ to understand more.

The only iSolutions supported email client on both iOS and Android devices is the Microsoft Outlook App. This will also provide the most consistent experience for accessing your University email, calendar and contacts.

Not all native email clients support MFA. If you wish to continue using the native email client on your device (Mail/Email/Gmail):

1. Make sure your device is fully updated
2. Then remove and re-add your University email account. If you need guidance, read the article “How to add or delete your university email account using Outlook”

If you are still unable to access the account within the app, then you will need to utilise the supported Outlook App – download it from Google Play or App Store.

 

I received an email “Your email access has been blocked” using iPhones / iPads

Some iOS users may receive an automated email with the following subject and text:

• Subject: Your email access has been blocked.
• Body: You are receiving this message because your IT department has blocked your email access.

This could be due to temporary conditions, like your network location.

Contact ServiceLine with any questions or concerns about this email.

Additionally, the following message may appear in your Calendar app: “Calendar Invitation - Your response to the invitation cannot be sent.”

You can fix the issue removing and re-adding the account will resolve these errors.

 

I cannot scan the QR code using my iPhone / iPad
