Setting Up Microsoft Authenticator on Your New Phone

Are you looking for an added layer of security for your Nintendo Account? Look no further than Microsoft Authenticator, a free app that provides two-factor authentication for your gaming needs. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of setting up Microsoft Authenticator on your new phone.

Before you begin, make sure you have the Google Authenticator app installed on your smart device. You can download it from either Google Play (for Android devices) or the App Store (for iOS devices).

To get started, log in to your Nintendo Account website and navigate to the Sign-in and security settings page. Scroll down to 2-Step Verification and click Edit. From here, you'll see a prompt asking you to enable two-factor authentication using Microsoft Authenticator.

Click Copy to copy all the codes provided, then paste them somewhere safe. You'll need these codes later in the process. Next, enter the verification code into the field under step 3 on the Nintendo Account screen and click Submit.

On your smart device, a 6-digit verification code will appear. Use this code to scan the QR code displayed on your Nintendo Account screen using the Google Authenticator app. This will link your account to Microsoft Authenticator.

If you encounter any issues or need to change your email address, don't worry! Simply click the Email address menu setting under User Info and enter a new address. You can also send yourself a verification code by clicking Send email from the same page.

Once you've set up Microsoft Authenticator, you'll need to log in using both your password and a code sent to your smart device via the app. This added layer of security will help keep your Nintendo Account safe from unauthorized access.
