The Microsoft Authenticator app helps you sign in to your accounts if you use two-factor verification. Two-factor verification helps you to use your accounts more securely because passwords can be forgotten, stolen, or compromised. Two-factor verification uses a second factor like your phone to make it harder for other people to break in to your account. You can use the Microsoft Authenticator app in multiple ways, including:

Two-factor verification. The standard verification method, where one of the factors is your password. After you sign in using your username and password, you can either approve a notification or enter a provided verification code.
Phone sign-in. A version of two-factor verification that lets you sign in without requiring a password, using your username and your mobile device with your fingerprint, face, or PIN.
Code generation. As a code generator for any other accounts that support authenticator apps.

Authenticator works with any account that uses two-factor verification and supports the time-based one-time password (TOTP) standards.

Your organization might require you to use the Authenticator app to sign in and access your organization's data and documents. Even if your user name appears in the app, the account isn't set up as a verification method until you complete the registration. For more information, see Add your work or school account.

This article explains how to install the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module usingPowerShellGet. These instructions work on Azure Cloud Shell, Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms.

Requirements

Teams PowerShell requires PowerShell 5.1 or higher on all platforms. Install the latest version of PowerShell available for your operating system.

Note

For the best experience, we recommend that you use PowerShell 5.1.

Install the Teams PowerShell module

Note

For the best experience, use either General Availability (GA) or Public Preview modules - not both. They're not intended to work together.

Use the PowerShellGet cmdlets to install the Teams PowerShell module. Installing the module for all users on a system requires elevated privileges. Start the PowerShellsession using Run as administrator in Windows or use the sudo command on macOS or Linux:

By default, the PowerShell Gallery (PSGallery) isn't configured as a trusted repository for PowerShellGet. The first time you use the PSGallery, you'll see the following message:

Answer Yes or Yes to All to continue with the installation.

Sign in

Sign in using MFA and modern authentication

If your account uses multi-factor authentication, use the steps in this section.

Update Teams PowerShell

To update Teams PowerShell, open a new elevated PowerShell command prompt and run the following:

Warning

If Teams PowerShell has already been imported into your PowerShell session, updating the module will fail. Close PowerShell and re-open a new elevated PowerShell session.

Uninstall Teams PowerShell

Installing the Teams PowerShell public preview module for all users on a system requires elevated privileges. Start the PowerShellsession using Run as administrator in Windows or use the sudo command on macOS or Linux.

If you're using PowerShell 5.1, you must update the PowerShellGet module beforehand. After you update PowerShellGet, close and reopen an elevated PowerShell session to ensure that the latest PowerShellGet is loaded.
