Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence to an authentication mechanism. MFA provides another layer of security to your account by requiring a code or notification to be sent to a personal or university device (usually a cell phone). MFA prevents an unauthorized user from accessing your account even if your password becomes compromised and helps protect the university.
For instructions on setting up your multi-factor authentication, please use the directions below. If you encounter any problems, please contact OIT at helpdesk@deltastate.edu or call 662-846-4760.
