Set Up Multi-Factor Authentication
Set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) at UMGC to add an extra layer of security to your account. MFA requires a second form of verification, such as a text message, email, or authentication app, to keep your information safe.
How to Enroll in MFA:
- Visit the MFA setup portal in Microsoft.
- Update or add your phone number.
- Set up the Microsoft Authenticator App.
If you're configuring MFA for the first time, make sure you have your UMGC login credentials and access to your second verification method.
