Essential #2

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Â鶹ŮÀÉ requires Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all students, faculty, and staff accessing university systems. MFA adds a second layer of security to your Â鶹ŮÀÉ account by requiring a secondary method of verification—such as a mobile device or hardware token—in addition to your password.

The goal of MFA is to create a layered defense and make it more difficult for an unauthorized person to access your information. MFA adds a step to the login process and requires you to prove your identity after entering a username and password by responding to a prompt.
