Register a Microsoft Authenticator device on your own profile
How to use Care Identity Management to register a Microsoft Authenticator device that you can then use to authenticate in place of a smartcard.
Before you start
You will need a device with the Microsoft Authenticator app installed.
Register your device
Go to the Care Identity Management start page and log in with your existing authenticator.
When you've logged in to Care Identity Management without a Registration Authority role, select the option to 'Add other authenticators'.
Alternatively you can use the home page panel to 'View your profile', then in the 'Authenticators' tab select 'Add authenticators'.
From the list of authenticators, select 'Microsoft Authenticator'.
You'll now see a screen with instructions on how to register the device. Select the check box and 'Register Microsoft Authenticator' when you're ready to proceed.
Enter your email address so that the service can send you a one-time password.
Enter the one-time password that was sent to your email address and select 'Continue'.
Enter a new password into both boxes and select 'Continue'.
Open the Microsoft Authenticator app on your smartphone. Use the app to scan the QR code shown in Care Identity Management, then select 'Next'.
Your Microsoft Authenticator app will show a verification code. Enter this code into Care Identity Management.
You'll now see a confirmation message.
If you return to your user profile screen, you'll now see the Microsoft Authenticator device in the list of authenticators.
