Description
Microsoft Office 365 uses Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as a security enhancement that requires a second form of verification when logging into Office 365 resources. Multi-factor authentication, sometimes referred to as second-step or two-step verification, requires you to authenticate using another method in addition to your username and password. Multi-factor authentication is required for all faculty, staff and student employees accessing Microsoft Office 365 resources.
MFA may not function properly during international travel. If you are traveling out of the country, use this form to request a temporary exception.
