Introduction
Microsoft Authenticator can be used to sign in to your UCF account without using a password. This guide will show you how to use Microsoft Authenticator to enable passwordless login through the Phone Sign-in option.
* Your NID needs to be configured to use Microsoft MFA before enabling passwordless
** If you use an IOS device you can duplicate this for all of your NID's in all UCF environments. If you are an Android user you can only configure 1 NID to use passwordless Phone Sign-in (currently).
