KI 1381 Microsoft Authenticator (two-factor) on a new mobile device
(updated )
Procedure
1. Delete previous method
To set up two-factor authentication again, you must first delete the previous method linked to your old mobile device or device.Note: If you do not have BankID or other login methods in ID-porten, you must contact the IT Department’s user support center (BRITA). Visit BRITA's homepage
Do the following to delete previous methods:
- Go to the website mfa.app.uib.no and click Continue.
- The next page will show a list of all two-factor methods registered on your account. Select the method that corresponds to your mobile device (or the only one registered), and then click Delete.
- If Add method does not appear and you still see the method you deleted (this is due to a website error), you need to repeat the process. Once this is done, you can click Add method.
- You will then be taken to a new webpage where you need to log in with your UiB account. If you see a page like the one shown in the image below, you can click Next and follow KI 3114 Setting up two-factor authentication to set up a new two-factor method.
Note: If it says you need to approve the sign-in with a passkey, you must contact the IT Department’s user support center (BRITA). Visit BRITA's homepage - If you instead see a page that says “Security Info”, click Add sign-in method.
- Then click Microsoft Authenticator as shown in the image. (Make sure not to choose “Passkey in Microsoft Authenticator”, which is the top option.)
- This will start the setup. From here, you can follow KI 3114 Setting up two-factor authentication to set up a new method.
