What is Multi-Factor Authentication?
Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is an additional layer of protection on your college accounts. It ensures that only you can access your account.
The initial set up is required for all college accounts. After you create your college login, you will be prompted by a pop-up which says 'keep your account secure'.

Before you start
To set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), you’ll need two devices:
1. A mobile device (like your phone or tablet) to download the authentication app.
2. A second device (such as a PC or tablet) to complete the setup process.
You can set up MFA in two ways:
1. Using the app (recommended)
2. Getting phone call notifications.
If you can’t download the app, please follow these steps instead.
STEP 1: DOWNLOAD THE MICROSOFT AUTHENTICATOR APP
