Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

What is MFA?


Multifactor Authentication (MFA) is the process of using two devices to access your account. The most common is using an app on a mobile phone in addition to your desktop computer.

If you are using a BYUH account that requires you to sign-in, you will be prompted and required to use MFA through Duo to confirm it's you.
