Tips and Tricks for a Smooth MFA Setup Process with Microsoft Authenticator

In today’s digital world, the need for strong security measures is more important than ever. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a powerful tool that adds an extra layer of protection to your online accounts. Microsoft Authenticator is a popular MFA app that provides a seamless and secure way to verify your identity. In this article, we will explore some tips and tricks to ensure a smooth MFA setup process with Microsoft Authenticator.

Understanding the Basics of MFA Setup

Before diving into the specific tips and tricks, it’s essential to understand the basics of MFA setup using Microsoft Authenticator. The first step is to download the app from your device’s app store. Once installed, you’ll need to link it to your online accounts by scanning QR codes or manually entering account details.

During the setup process, you may be prompted to choose between different verification methods such as push notifications, one-time passwords (OTP), or biometric authentication. It’s crucial to select the method that works best for you while balancing convenience and security.

Tip 1: Keep Your Device Secure

The security of your device plays a crucial role in ensuring the effectiveness of MFA with Microsoft Authenticator. Make sure your device has up-to-date operating system software and security patches installed. Enable device lock screens with strong passcodes or biometric authentication like fingerprint or face recognition.

Additionally, avoid downloading apps or clicking on suspicious links that could potentially compromise your device’s security. Regularly scan for malware and keep all apps updated to minimize any potential vulnerabilities.

Tip 2: Backup Your Accounts

Losing access to your Microsoft Authenticator app can be frustrating if you haven’t backed up your accounts properly. To avoid this situation, take advantage of the backup feature within Microsoft Authenticator.

By linking your app with your cloud account (such as Microsoft Account or Google Account), you can easily restore your accounts on a new device or in case of app reinstallation. This simple step ensures that even if you lose your device or switch to a new one, you won’t have to go through the hassle of setting up MFA all over again.

Tip 3: Test the Setup and Troubleshoot

Once you’ve completed the MFA setup with Microsoft Authenticator, it’s essential to test its functionality. Verify that you can successfully log in to your accounts using MFA. This step will give you peace of mind knowing that everything is working as intended.

In case you encounter any issues during the testing process or while using MFA, don’t panic. Microsoft Authenticator provides helpful troubleshooting options within the app itself. Look for support documentation or contact customer support if needed. They can assist you in resolving any technical difficulties and ensure a smooth experience with MFA.

Implementing multi-factor authentication with Microsoft Authenticator is an effective way to enhance the security of your online accounts. By following these tips and tricks, you can ensure a smooth MFA setup process and enjoy peace of mind knowing that your digital presence is well-protected. Remember to keep your device secure, backup your accounts, and test the setup regularly for optimal performance. Stay safe and secure in today’s digital landscape.

2021 MFA THESIS EXHIBITION

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter
• Share on LinkedIn

Enjoy the very best artworks created by seven MFA candidates from the School of Art in the annual 2021 Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition offered in 3D, 360-degree, virtual reality.

Physically hung in the galleries of the University of Arizona Museum of Art and the School of Art’s Joseph Gross Gallery, the exhibition is viewed virtually. Utilizing the 3D space capture program from Matterport, museum visitors have the opportunity to virtually ‘walk-through’ the different exhibitions and even view the exhibition in VR, which puts you “in the gallery.” Each piece of artwork has been carefully scanned to facilitate the new online medium and paired with the navigation aspect allows for great user experience. 

The School of Art’s MFA Thesis Exhibition is presented annually during the last semester of a graduate student’s process to complete the Master of Fine Arts studio degree. During the last year of their coursework, graduates work closely with faculty to develop original art of which the character and reach of works being presented is determined by the graduate.

Intimacy, Fabulation, and Trauma

In her book Staying with the Trouble, Donna Haraway names her notion of the “thick present” as “the temporality of the thick, fibrous, and lumpy ‘now’ which is ancient and not,” as the ongoing now that “collects up inheritances and makes ongoing possible.” The thick present is her expanded notion of temporality, one that is attached to the past and that is not reduced to the instantaneous present. Before Covid-19 hit the world, Anna Tsing wrote that “precarity is the condition of our time.” For Tsing, precarity is about being vulnerable to others, is indeterminacy, is living and dying “in capitalist ruins.” She suggested that “one value of keeping precarity in mind is that it makes us remember that changing with circumstances is the stuff of survival.” Thinking with Haraway and Tsing, this exhibition understands the ongoing temporalities of the thick present as ongoing precarity, and conceives these artists’ works as engaging with and telling the life story by Carrying the Thick Present.

Over a year of life with the pandemic has passed. During the last year, the participating artists in this exhibition were either deprived of the opportunity to make art in their studios or abandoned their studios after returning home from abroad. Just like the rest of us, they have experienced lockdown and the adoption of social and physical distancing. They experienced isolation, loss, and grief. These works emerged out of such conditions, out of the uncertainty of precarious thick presents. Artists had to reconsider their practice and to rethink their (and our) ways of being-with others. Under such circumstances, they have found in art making a way to cultivate their conditions for ongoingness, for healing and for staying alive.

The overarching theme of Carrying the Thick Present takes shape by reflecting upon three interrelated notions: intimacy, fabulation, trauma; each unfolding in one different gallery. It is by working through these notions that the twenty-four artists participating in this exhibition have found their ways for engaging with, telling, and Carrying the Thick Present we live in and with it.

Intimacy at Syracuse University Art Museum: twelve artists depict intimate moments of companionship, affect and love; and examine the notion of domesticity and home. Some evoke a sense of boredom, pause, and suspension of time; others contest the boundaries of the intimate space. These works remember. Engaging with intimacy as a way to carrying the thick ongoing life under social and physical distance, these works are capable of creating a timeplace for introspective reflection and affect, re-orienting our sense of time and being with others.

Fabulation at Point of Contact Gallery: six artists explore the potentials of fabulation, that is, of fabricating the real through speculative storytelling and alter-worlding. Eerie environments and monstrous organisms emerge. Communal care, dancing with ghosts, and grieving with others are forwarded as methods of bearing the weight of loss. Gaming and tales of multispecies kinship heighten an awareness of our enmeshment with-in a multispecies landscape. Through the gesture and practice of fabulation, these artists’ works offer other configurations to dwelling with loss and open us into an appreciation of our entwined shared living and dying. Through fabulations, these works reimagine the thick present and its multiple past and future durations, disrupting habitual narratives about the self and about our ways of living together.

Trauma at Community Folk Art Center: six artists deal with forms of trauma. Collecting the ongoing pasts that are attached to the thick presents, they explore the trauma that has stemmed from war, violence, and social conflicts. These works are carriers of traumatic histories and presents. Some remind us that the bio- and earth-trauma are entangled in intricate relationships, that we are at the verge of extinction and decay. Yet, for others there are forms of repair and renewal. Biodesign and virtual reality open up possibilities of hopeful temporalities for life and the earth. Rather than closure to traumatic events, these works engage with trauma to meditate on togetherness, on our shared sense of belonging-with.

Art, and all the artists in this exhibition, have the capacity to cultivate conditions for our being and ongoingness-with others in the precarious thick present we live in and with it. Art, and these works, hold the capacity to collect ongoing pasts, stay with thick presents, and reimagine still possible futures. When viewing these works, bear this in mind.

About the Exhibition 

The artists in Turning Point explore relationships, connections and emotions. Atkinson’s virtual reality game, when we were, investigates perspectives and memories. Through exploration, players piece together the relationship between two sisters as they return to their childhood home. Hang’s CyberTown is an interactive educational resource aimed at cultivating good digital citizenship in kids, with a focus on teaching safety, responsibility, and kindness. Lim is an animator and a filmmaker who focuses on telling stories about young adults and children. In her short animation film Ensemble , a young adult finds a new appreciation for music after forming  an ensemble with his neighbor. Lou’s Memory · Home · Food is a 2D cooking game about traditional Chinese food culture and memories of her family as a child. Nunez’s animated TV pilot and pitch bible, As You Wish follows the adventures of a stressed teenager turned witch and the genies under her spell, as they discover the power of friendship and love, but most importantly, believing in themselves. Varghese’s project, Microinteractions in Chatbots, consists of animations exploring the ways people can communicate with text-based applications. Each animation has a unique context and chatbot personality. Microinteractions in Chatbots demonstrates how visual elements like typography, color, and motion can showcase a chatbot’s character.

Turning Point acts as a reflection on the artists’ paths up to this point. The exhibition traces their journeys through fictional and personal narratives, brought to audiences through digital media. Each piece serves as a focal point for the artist’s evolution and growth. Together, the exhibition acts as a culmination of their MFA experiences, documented in digital media, and the launching point to their next adventures.
