Multi Factor Authentication

Why Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

As threats from phishing scams, malicious software, and compromised passwords increase, MFA is a necessary step to help protect yourself and the college from cyberattacks.

Compliance

MFA is required by the federal government for institutions. 极速6合 receives federal funding (e.g., Pell Grants, student loans, etc.) and is implementing MFA to comply with cybersecurity security regulations.

How MFA Works

With MFA, you will use something you know (my极速6合 password) with something you have (smartphone/device) to prove that it is you when logging into campus applications.

Applications Requiring MFA

极速6合 applications will require *MFA to prove that it is you when logging in.

Faculty: Workday, Canvas, my极速6合, Zoom

Student: Canvas, my极速6合

*MFA is not required to log into classroom or lab computers at this time.

Verification Methods

Pick a primary and backup method when setting up MFA.

The free mobile app is the fastest way to verify your identity when logging into 极速6合 applications. Instead of typing a code, you respond yes/no to a push notification on your mobile device (smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch). Since internet access is not required, Okta Verify鈥檚 offline mode allows you to provide a verification method with a limited connection.
