Earlier this month we shared in OnCampus that we will be requiring the use of the Microsoft Authenticator multi-factor authentication (MFA) app to access campus systems beginning in January. Starting on January 4, when you login to a system set up with multi-factor authentication, you will be required to prove that the login is being made by you. You will enter your email address/username and password and then be prompted, typically by a mobile app push, to verify your identity.

In order to help you prepare for this change, we’ve created a FAQ and some knowledge base guides linked below.

• Multi-factor Authentication Project (FAQ)
• Getting Started with the Microsoft Authenticator app (How-to)
• Setting up Additional Multi-Factor Authentication Options (How-to)

To encourage early preparation, we’re offering an incentive to the first 150 people who submit proof of downloading the Microsoft Authenticator app and connecting it with their Drake account. They will receive a $1 off coupon to use at the campus Starbucks. One coupon per person, and a screenshot of your phone is required. Visit https://forms.office.com/r/HGSY0L1JSf to enter and see complete rules.

We will continue to expand the FAQ and provide additional OnCampus updates as the January deadline approaches.
