5. What is MFA and how do I enrol?

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security when you log in to your University IT account. It's sometimes called two-factor authentication (2FA).

With MFA, you provide at least two pieces of evidence at login to verify your identity:

• Something you know: a password, pin or passphrase.
• Something you have: a physical device you have with you when logging in, for example, a mobile device or hardware token.

For information about MFA & Duo, please visit our main Multi-factor authentication (MFA) webpage.
