Multifactor Authentication and Security

Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

We are introducing the use of Multifactor Authentication (MFA) on your university email to provide an additional layer of security on your account.

MFA works by requiring another method of authentication in addition to your university email and password. This will be required to access university email, as well as other university services.

Staying Cyber Secure

The Staying Cyber Secure pages provide advice and guidance on how to protect your accounts and devices and stay safe online.
