What is MFA?

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) sometimes called two-factor authentication is an additional security method to secure your account and make sure that only you can log into it. It requires you to authenticate with your password and another piece of information such as code that you receive in a text message, a phone call or through Microsoft authenticator app. This quick user guide shows you how to set up your MFA and how to log in using it. To start please make sure you have your computer and your mobile phone/ office phone line near you.
