A Microsoft app for iOS and Android devices that enables authentication with two-factor verification, phone sign-in, and code generation
KOHO (a non-Microsoft service) can only be added to Microsoft Authenticator if KOHO itself supports two-step verification (2FA) with an authenticator app and shows a QR code or secret key during its security setup.
To add KOHO to Microsoft Authenticator, follow this general pattern:
- Sign in to KOHO in a browser and go to its security or login settings.
- Turn on two-step verification (or similar) for the KOHO account.
- In KOHO’s 2FA setup, choose the option to use an authenticator app. This should display a QR code (or a manual code) on the KOHO site.
- On the phone, open Microsoft Authenticator.
- Tap the plus icon and choose Other account (or Other (Google, Facebook, etc.) depending on device).
- Scan the QR code from KOHO’s page. If scanning isn’t possible, use the option to enter the code manually.
- Confirm in KOHO by entering the verification code shown in Microsoft Authenticator.
If KOHO does not provide any QR code or secret key when enabling 2FA, then it cannot be added to Microsoft Authenticator using the documented methods. In that case, check KOHO’s help/support pages to see whether they support authenticator apps at all.
