How to enable 2FA on Microsoft 365 Copilot

← Microsoft 365 Copilot overview Supported

Microsoft 365 Copilot supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your Microsoft 365 Copilot account.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Microsoft 365 Copilot and open your Microsoft 365 Copilot account security settings.
2
Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.
Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.
3
Scan the QR code with MS Authenticator App.
Open MS Authenticator App, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Microsoft 365 Copilot displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.
4
Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
Type the code MS Authenticator App generates to verify and link your Microsoft 365 Copilot account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Microsoft 365 Copilot gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

Menu names on Microsoft 365 Copilot can change — the official Microsoft 365 Copilot 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
