The ID.me Authenticator app can be used to generate codes and/or push notifications for secure multi-factor authentication (MFA).
To download and install the app:
1. When prompted to select an MFA option, select either Push Notification or Code Generator Application. In our example, we will select Code Generator Application.
2. On the screen below, choose how you wish to download the ID.me Authenticator app. We will select Text Message, and click Continue.
3. When you receive the message, click the link in the text.
4. Follow the prompts to download and Open the app.
5. Take note of the 6-digit code that is presented.
6. Before the timer reaches zero, return to your ID.me account, and enter the code. (If the timer does reach zero, a new code is displayed, and you will have 30 seconds to enter it.) You are now ready to use the Authenticator app with MFA.
