Part 2: Register two authentication methodsYou'll need to select at least two of these methods to secure your account. It's possible some of these methods have already been assigned to your account. There are four authentication methods to choose from. Each method uses a device or contact other than your university account and password to provide verification for your account. Step-by-step instructionsWe encourage you to use the Microsoft Authenticator app (or another authenticator app of your choice) for your first method as it provides the most security and ease-of-use. After you have configured two methods, select Done. You will be taken to the account security dashboard. Replacing your phone or changing your number?Don't get locked out of your account! Visit the account security dashboard and update your MFA methods before you lose access to your phone. Remove or modify any methods that are tied to your phone—such as the Microsoft Authenticator app—or your phone number before you switch to your new phone.

Most employees have an Office Phone method already that cannot be modified or removed. This record is listed by default as part of our integration with the Active Directory service. If the number is outdated, please correct your Business or work phone entry in BOSS (under Personal Information). It may take up to 1 hour for the update to process. The Office Phone is not considered one of your two required methods, but can be used as a fallback. |
