What is this?
Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is mandatory for all off campus access to NSCC services. You are required to enable it.
Here are a list of other KB articles that support MFA:
MFA is used to make sure you are who you say you are by requiring two or more pieces of evidence that prove your identity. This evidence is known as a factor, and the requirement of a second factor greatly increases the security of your account. With multiple factors just knowing, or even guessing, your password is not enough to access your account.
Below you will find a detailed video that walks you through deleting a factor. Please turn on CC if you wish to access captions. We also have detailed step by step instructions with screen grabs under the video.
