MFA, Multi-Factor Authentication

MFA helps ensure a user's identity when attempting to use SVSU software and systems. It requires SVSU users to present two pieces of evidence when logging in to any SVSU system. One piece of evidence will be the SVSU username and password. Users will choose the other method of evidence, or authentication, that best fits their lifestyle, from the available options. Without authentication, your log in will fail.
