Adding MFA to Another Device

It is highly recommended that MFA is added to another device, such as your school iPad, so you are less likely to lose access. 

A computer is not needed this time for setup, you will only need the new device and the first device you set up in the previous section.


  1. On your new device, download the Microsoft Authenticator app
  2. If prompted, allow notifications
  3. Tap Add account
  4. When presented the options, tap "Work or School Account" and "Sign In"
  5. Sign in with your Lynn credentials
  6. You will receive a notification to your other mobile device, the one that set up with Authenticator the first time. Approve this sign in by tapping on the notification, tapping Approve, and confirming the two digits
  7. You should now have another device setup for use with Multi Factor Authentication



Removing a Device from MFA

If for any reason you wish to remove your device from being used for MFA, you can do so by doing the following:

  1. Navigate to https://mysignins.microsoft.com
  2. You should see all the devices that are connected to your account
  3. Select "Delete" next to the device that you would like to remove
