Multi-factor authentication (MFA) provides an additional layer of security when you log into a service.
The University is asking all UoB staff and postgraduate researchers to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) for our Microsoft Azure Active Directory sign-in service. This sign-in service is used to access a number of services, including:
- Microsoft 365 desktop, mobile and web apps such as Outlook, SharePoint, Teams and Word
- MyERP
- the University’s VPN, Big-IP Edge Client
- Blackboard.
MFA will be enforced from 21 September.
