The default authentication method is to use the free Microsoft Authenticator app. If you have it installed on your mobile device, select Next and follow the prompts to add this account. If you don't have it installed there is a link provided to download it. If you would rather use SMS messages sent to your phone instead, select I want to set up a different method.
