1. Tap on the add account button (“+” on top-right on iOS and “+ Add account” on Android).
2. Tap on “Work or school account”.
3. Tap on “Sign in” and use your credentials to sign in.

Microsoft announced four new features for the company's Microsoft Authenticator application for organizations. The new security features improve Microsoft Authenticator's capabilities in several meaningful ways.

Two feature additions improve the sign-in experience. The first, Additional context in Microsoft Authenticator approval requests, adds more information to the confirmation prompt. The feature uses the device's IP address to display location based information and a map. It will also display the application that is requesting access.

Administrators need to enable push notifications for some users or groups using the new Authentication Methods Policy API.

Administrators may combine the new security feature with number matching, yet another new feature that is available in public preview. Number matching requires users to enter a number in the Microsoft Authenticator application that is displayed on the sign-in screen.
