MFA Coming Soon - Opt-In Now

In the near future the college will be rolling out mandatory MFA (multifactor authentication) to protect our systems and data. This will require the use of an authenticator app or an additional code to be entered at log-on in addition to your MCC Network Account User ID and password. We will start with Microsoft 365 services (including student email) and progressively add additional systems each week.

MCC faculty, staff and students already have the ability to enroll in MFA right now so that you are all set when MFA becomes mandatory. To avoid being locked out of systems you need immediate access to, we strongly recommend you enroll during the opt-in phase prior to MFA becoming mandatory. Otherwise you risk being forced to enroll in MFA at a time that is inconvenient; you will be blocked from logging in until you provide the required MFA.

MFA enrollment Instructions are attached. If you already have MFA enabled, please refer to the Microsoft MFA Modify Setup.pdf document to configure your MFA settings to MCC’s recommendations.

Look for more information in the coming weeks in Daily Tribune articles.
