Entra ID MFA Guide (new Feb 2025)

Dear User,

on 26 February 2025, FIFA IT has changed the multi-factor authentication (MFA) method for this application. PingID has been replaced by Microsoft Authenticator as the default mobile app being used.

If you login from this day onwards, you'll be asked by the system to complete the following steps, described below.

This procedure is compulsory and must be done only by yourself. Please follow the below instructions. In case you may face an issue, please get in touch with archivesinfo@fifa.org. 

We thank you very much for your comprehension.

Steps to change your multifactor authentication setup (option 1)

1. Log into FIFA Archives
   
   
2. The system shows the following info, click "Next"
   
   
   
3. This next screen shows three different options on how to proceed. The recommended way is to use Microsoft Authenticator App (option 1).
   Option 2: "I want to use a different authenticator app" for users preferring another authenticator
   Option 3: "I want to set up a different method" for users who want to use text messages or phone calls instead (not recommended, less secure)
   
   We'll proceed with Microsoft Authenticator (option 1). The other two options are described further below.
   
   Download and install the app, open the app. Follow the steps.
   Then click "Next" on the screen below.

   Then click "Next" on screen below.

Steps to change your multifactor authentication setup (option 2)

If you want to use a different authenticator app, follow these steps:

1. Click on "I want to use a different authenticator".

3. In Authenticator app, look up the generated code or create a new code. Enter this code into field below. Click "Next".
