Hi Nhlanhla_Magz, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

Nhlanhla_Magz, I'm afraid that this is something that is not possible to change or adapt in any way, in any case you will have to go to the support of the Authenticator application you are using, change authenticator or add a third login method.

Can you tell me which Authenticator you use?

Please note that this is only a public forum, I will respond to you in a short period of time within the possible apologizing in advance for any delay in response. I am simply a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others, I am not an employee of Microsoft.

To opt into Two-Factor Authentication:

1. In your ACCOUNT Settings, click on the PASSWORD & SECURITY tab to view your security settings.
2. At the bottom of the page, under the TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION heading, click to ENABLE AUTHENTICATOR APP or ENABLE EMAIL AUTHENTICATION as your two-factor method.

If you prefer to use an authenticator app for two-step verification, here are a few common authenticator apps that can be found in your mobile device app store:

• Google Authenticator
• LastPass Authenticator
• Microsoft Authenticator
• Authy

Keep your account safe and remember, Epic employees will never ask for your password!

It's really the dumbest thing I've ever seen to require a code to be sent to the authentication app just to sign into the authentication app so that means if you ever accidentally get signed out of the authentication app for any reason you're screwed.

Is your wireless system asking for additional authentication or did you possibly setup two factor authentication on your MS account?
