Securing Your Accounts
#

This section applies to new employees only. If you’re a returning employee, skip to the “Changing Default Apps” section.

You’ll need to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for your Google and Microsoft accounts. Have your personal mobile phone ready.

Before you start: You only need one authenticator app for this process. Check if you already have the Microsoft Authenticator app or the Google Authenticator app installed on your phone. If so, skip the “Get the Authenticator App” section.

Get the Authenticator App #

Download the Google Authenticator from the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android). Use your personal Gmail account to login or choose to continue without signing in.

Important: Do not sign in with your Cushman account in the Google Authenticator app. This can create a login loop and block access to your account.

Notes:

– If you do not sign in to the Google Authenticator app and later switch phones, you will need to contact the Technology Department for a backup code to regain access to your Google account.

– If you use your personal Gmail account with Google Authenticator, your codes will automatically transfer to your new phone.
