IMPORTANT: Do not delete the Microsoft Authenticator app from your phone or replace your phone without having an alternate MFA method in place. You can also back up your Microsoft Authenticator app credentials to prevent losing access in the event that something unexpected happens to your phone, such as loss, damage, or theft. We highly recommend that you follow the steps now to avoid loss of access to TTU services.
