Conclusion
Multi-factor authentication is now setup after completing this walkthrough. On new devices you will be prompted with requiring a code to proceed after signing in with your username and password. This means that if someone has your password they will still require the phone you have set up multi-factor authentication on.
*Note: The process will sign you out of Outlook, OneDrive and Teams (you will be prompted to authenticate to each app). You will only have to sign-in to these apps once per device.
