How to use multi-factor authentication

Setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA) at FF MU involves three main steps:

  1. Download and install an app for generating one-time access codes.
  2. Set up multi-factor authentication for Single Sign-On.
  3. Set up multi-factor authentication for the MU Information System.

To set up multi-factor authentication, you will need a smartphone with the Android or iOS operating system, on which you will have an app that will generate one-time time-limited numeric codes. This phone must have the correct time set, otherwise the codes generated on it will not work.

You will also need a computer. Although a computer is not necessary, setting up with a computer and mobile phone is much more convenient.

Once you have set up multi-factor authentication, you will no longer be able to log in without entering a one-time code from the app. Therefore, whenever you log in, you must have a device with the app for generating one-time codes available.

You will need

mobile phone with Android or iOS operating system, computer
