Microsoft Authenticator

Microsoft Authenticator serves the same purpose as VIP Symantec - They're multi-factor authentication apps.

SCCU will be moving to Microsoft Authenticator in the near future. However, VIP Symantec is forcing us to move earlier than expected.

NOTE: For now, only staff having issues with VIP will be moved to Microsoft Authenticator, however, both will still need to be used.

• VIP to sign into Remote Desktop
• Microsoft Authenticator to sign into Microsoft Apps (My Applications, Outlook, Excel, web apps...)
