All student and employee accounts require the use of Multi-Factor Authentication for better security. We highly recommend using the Microsoft Authenticator app's push notifications, as they are the easiest method to use.
Note: To update your MFA settings, you require at least one method already setup on your account. Otherwise, you'll need to contact the Helpdesk.
Viewing MFA Settings
Go to the Security Info page and sign in with your CUNE email. If prompted select "Work or school account".
Here you can:
- Add authentication methods
- Delete authentication methods
- Change the default method used when Microsoft cannot automatically determine the best method
Adding an Authentication Method
When adding a sign-in method, select either Authenticator app or Phone. Once selected, click Next and follow the instructions to complete the setup.
Note: We HIGHLY recommend you use an "Authenticator app" option, if possible.
Changing the Default MFA Method
After you have changed your MFA settings you may want to update your default method.
-
Click Change from the Security Info page
-
Select the default method from the drop-down menu
