In my last video, I talked about configuring multi-factor authentication on Microsoft 365 using the free smartphone app – but what happens if you don't have a smartphone? You can use a Yubikey to configure MFA on Microsoft 365.

MFA is extremely important for Microsoft 365 – it can reduce the chance of a hack by 99.9%. The easiest and best way to configure MFA is to use the free Microsoft Authenticator app installed on a smartphone.

But what happens when there is no smartphone available? You might be thinking: who doesn't have a smartphone?

The problem, however, is that as a company owner, you don't equip your employees with company smartphones and then ask them to install work-related apps on their personal phones.

In my experience, some people don't want that and it's their right.

So what is the answer?

The answer is to provide people with one of these – it's called Yubikey, but the company is called Yubico.

It's a small device that you can carry around with you – it fits on a keychain. This one was bought from Amazon and cost around £40.

I'll show you how to configure this for MFA with M365.
