If you use the Microsoft Authenticator app to approve your Gordon sign-ins to Microsoft 365 and other school resources, you are going to start being asked to select the number you see. This is to prevent accidental approvals.

If you require VPN access, or your using a Remote Desktop Service, your Microsoft Authenticator App will still use the "Approve/Deny" method, as this is the primary method for those services.

  • VPN Users: Microsoft Authenticator App will still use the "Approve/Deny" method
  • Remote Desktop Users: Microsoft Authenticator App will still use the "Approve/Deny" method
