IT Account Security
Manage your University password & set up MFA
Staff and students are required to secure their IT account by setting up Authentication. You may already be familiar with authentication as is used on a regular basis for many online transactions such as banking, shopping, or PayPal.
At time of writing, all staff and PGRs are enabled for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). You will be prompted for authentication when you log into your University Microsoft account (e.g. Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, or any other Office365 tool).
MFA is currently being rolled out to PGTs and UGs. However, some students may already have set up authentication in order to reset their password.
See our Guides and Video to step you through setting up MFA.
