I have been using Box in the workplace for approximately four weeks.  I did not set up authentication or an account backup code.  This morning when attempting to log in, I was prompted to provide authentication or a backup code.  I don’t have the Microsoft Authenticator app.  Is there a way to configure a backup code or a way to prevent this from happening again?

Hi ​@jjmars

Welcome to Box Community, and we’re going to assist disable your Multi-Factor Authentication. 

I’ll create a support ticket and a member from the Box Product Support team will reach out to you. Please keep an eye out! 

 

Thanks for posting, and we hope sort this out soon!
