Remove old phone from MFA system

In order to remove your phone from the UNC Asheville’s Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) system prior to relinquishing control of the device, you will need to remove the account from the app.

Prior to taking these steps, ensure the Microsoft Authenticator app is set up and correctly receiving codes! Once you follow this process you will lose access via this device.

Follow our New Phone MFA guide!
