Updated

Secure your Microsoft 365 account by setting up two-step verification. Follow these steps as your guide in setting this up:

  1. Go to the Microsoft account page and log in to your Microsoft 365 account. For the username, type your Infonet account followed by @benilde.edu.ph (example, beni@benilde.edu.ph), then use your Infonet password.
  2. From the side menu, click Security info.
  3. Click +Add sign-in method.
  4. For the method, choose Authenticator app and click Add.
  5. In Start by getting the app, choose I want to use a different authenticator app. 
  6. In Set up your account, click Next. This will show a QR code that you will scan in Google Authenticator.

Use Google Authenticator

  1. Install Google Authenticator on your mobile device.
  2. Google Authenticator generates time-sensitive codes that you can use to log in. It also works offline. Click Get started.
  3. Tap + and choose Scan a QR code.
  4. Scan the QR code. It will automatically add your Microsoft account to Google Authenticator.
  5. Click Next on your browser.
  6. Type the code shown in Google Authenticator. The code is time-sensitive and changes when the timer ends.

Your two-step verification is set up. From now on, you’ll use Google Authenticator to verify sign-in attempts made to your account.

Make sure that you enable two-factor authentication. You will not be able to access your accounts (personal and office/department Benilde account) if you have not enabled this. If you need help, contact Helpdesk.
