4.2. Set up multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Before you can access the UN Secretariat workforce portal for Member States, the system requires you to secure your Microsoft account by adding an additional method of login verification. This is known as multi-factor authentication (MFA).

1. Open a new browser window and navigate to: https://ms.umoja.un.org
2. Click on Next.
   
3. Select your desired additional security verification method: either a) Authentication phone or b) Mobile App.
   If a) Authentication phone is selected:
   - Select your phone country/region.
   - Enter your phone number.
   - Select your desired Contact Method (text or call).
   
   
4. Click Next.
   
   
   If b) Mobile app is selected:
   - Select how you want to use the mobile app (either receive a notification or use a verification code).
   - Click Set up and follow the on-screen instructions to configure the mobile app.
   
   
   In the below example, option a) Authentication phone has been selected.
5. A verification code will be sent to you. Enter the verification code you received. Click Verify.
   
6. A message will appear notifying you that the verification has been successful. Click Done.
   
7. Upon clicking Done, you will be brought to the UN Secretariat workforce portal for Member States Landing Page.

The tile description will depend on your access—whether you’re a member of the ACABQ or a delegate of the Fifth Committee.
