I'm trying to log in to Microsoft 365 but am being prompted to sign up for MFA. What is MFA? Am I required to use it?
Everyone using CU Boulder's Microsoft 365 instance is required to use multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA is a simple way to increase account security by requiring multiple forms of verification to prove your identity when signing into an application.
- The first form of verification is typically something you know, like a password.
- The second form of verification is typically tied to something you possess, like a mobile phone or Yubikey.
Learn more about MFA and find instructions for signing up and troubleshooting on our Microsoft 365 MFA page.
