What is MFA (Multi-factor authentication)

Created by Chris McKinley, Modified on Mon, 1 Jul at 11:22 AM by Chris McKinley

Multifactor authentication (MFA) adds a layer of protection to the sign-in process. When accessing accounts or apps, users provide additional identity verification, such as scanning a fingerprint or entering a code received by phone.


During the initial sign-in you'll be asked to configure MFA. We recommend you use the Microsoft Authenticator for either iOS or Android
