Introduction

What is 2-factor authentication (2FA) and why is it useful?
It adds another layer of protection for your school account and protects it from being used for malicious purposes even if your password has leaked. You can check how it works here.

NB! We recommend the Microsoft Authenticator

and Google Authenticator apps.

In addition, we recommend adding an SMS method in case something happens to the smart device where the applications are installed.

Both a smart device and a computer are required for setup.
