Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) adds a second layer of security to your SDSUid account. By verifying your identity using a second factor (such as your mobile device or a hardware token), MFA prevents anyone else from logging into your account, even if they know your password. To help keep SDSU users and data safe, the campus utilizes Duo's MFA solution.
